[gentoo-user] /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy (when Amarok 2 is running)

[Alex Schuster]

Hi there!

I cannot access /dev/dsp once Amarok 2 has started playback, even if the 
playback was stopped. I have to close Amarok, then /dev/dsp is accessible 
again. Does anyone know why this is?

This happens in KDE4, 2.6.28-tuxonice-r3 kernel, audio device according to 
lspci is "ATI Technologies Inc RS780 Azalia controller".
I do not have this problem with my older machine, running KDE3 and Amarok 1.
