Subject: acroread opens and locks sound device
Package: acroread
Version: 9.1.0-0.5
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***

I open a PDF using acroread.  At some point--not obviously related to
anything I do--acroread decides to block access to the sound device.
I don't know how to trigger this, but I know that it happens often or
usually after acroread has been open for a few hours.

At this point, I start getting errors when I try to play music using
any software.  Here's one from audacious2 2.2 (alsa 1.0.21+dfsg-2, no
pulse etc).

 ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1010:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
 alsa-gapless: snd_pcm_open failed: Device or resource busy.

"lsof | grep pcm" revealed that acroread was accessing
/dev/snd/pcmC0D0p.  Closing acroread allows sound players to open the
device again.

acroread does not complain that anyone else has the sound device open,
and doesn't seem to try to steal control.

Sorry; this report is rather odd.  I'd love to provide more info if
you can tell me what to look for!
