Weird! For me xpdf does not seem to use the /dev/snd. I opened a pdf file using xpdf. After that sudo lsof | grep snd | grep xpdf returned nothing. It could be something specific to your configuration. What is your sound card? Are you using ALSA or something else? I am using Debian Etch, xpdf 3.0.1, ALSA for soundcard configuration. hth raju -- Kamaraju S Kusumanchi http://www.people.cornell.edu/pages/kk288/ http://malayamaarutham.blogspot.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
