** Description changed: I've been using zynaddsubfx for a while now with no problems, but the past couple days, if I start it without Jack running (sending output to alsa) it consistently crashes my computer. The only system changes I've made have been routine updates. I get an error something like "cannot connect to /dev/dsp," then the screen and everything freezes, even if there is no other program running and therefore /dev/dsp is free. If Jack is running, it causes no problems. + + The relevant output produced by zynaddsubfx, just before it causes a lock-up, looks something like this: + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + Sound Buffer Size = 256 samples + Internal latency = 5.8 ms + ADSynth Oscil. Size = 512 samples + + ERROR: Cannot make a jack client (possible reasons: JACK server is not + running or jackd is launched by root and zynaddsubfx by another user.). + + Using OSS instead. + ERROR - I can't open the /dev/dsp . + ALSA lib seq_hw.c:456:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory + ------------------------------------------------------------------------- + + The system becomes completely "frozen" and a hard reset is required. + + This bug seems to affect dapper, since some point in its development and + at present.
