The bug, as such, is that the ALSA sound stack in Linux only allows one process to hold it open. In your case, it's either squeezelite or the rest of your desktop.
Desktops get around this by using PulseAudio or similar to multiplex the audio devices. Being a system service, squeezelite can't make use of that infrastructure. I'll see if there's anything that can be done but I suspect not. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1636253 Title: blocks audio output for other applications To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/squeezelite/+bug/1636253/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
