I just saw this as well. Playing movies for me, with xine and mplayer both, hangs instead of playing the movie, with a backtrace ending up in semop(). strace output from the offending process shows:
After fooling around a bit, I discovered that I had a stray artsd process hanging around (started by my user, now parented to init). It hadn't shown up as linked to any of the alsa libs when I searched, but killing it seemed to make my sound work again. It looked like it was retaking the DIRECT_IPC_SEM_CLIENT semaphore when I upped it by hand, but I could be wrong about that. Does KDE start artsd by default in Debian? Is artsd supposed to break alsa when it's running? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
