Package: esound Version: 0.2.35-2 I am having esd freeze on an IBM ThinkPad R52 sometimes. In my case, it is usually while Gnome is tring to play a (.wav) system sound, although other programs (e.g. xmms) can cause a freeze too (haven't tried with sound files other than .wav). Once esd is frozen, any app that tries to play a sound will freeze too. This means that the Gnome panel will freeze next time I try to launch a program. Pretty soon, the whole desktop is frozen. Killing esd allows the apps to recover. esd can be restarted after being killed. (Gnome system sounds don't work until I log out and back in, presumably because Gnome can't find the new esd, but other programs, e.g. xmms work fine with the restarted esd).
The ThinkPad model number is: 18586SM I have the following kernel/drivers/sound modules installed (as automatically detected during installation): ac97_codec i810_audio soundcore I don't know whether the bug initially causing the lockup is in esd, but regardless of this, the whole desktop should not end up frozen, so I think there is a bug in esd anyway. I suspect that bug #202540 is the same as this one. I think the crashes happen more when the computer is running slower. -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-2-386 Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages esound depends on: ii esound-common 0.2.35-2 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Common ii libaudiofile0 0.2.6-6 Open-source version of SGI's audio ii libc6 2.3.2.ds1-22sarge4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an ii libesd0 0.2.35-2 Enlightened Sound Daemon - Shared ii libwrap0 7.6.dbs-8 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
