[Alsa-user] alsa haning

[Peter K. <pwk...@gm...>]

Hi,

I did some more research on my problem. It seems, that after a random time of 
any sound application running (e.g. freeamp playing mp3), the soundsystem 
hangs (-> no sound), and the soundapplications are mostly no killable (this 
leads me to the assumption that the kernel is doing sth for the application). 
To fix it, it is enough no kill my XServer (log out), and back in !
I find this very queer. What has my XServer got to do with my sound ? I run 
KDE, but no arts is started (i saw to that) !

Before I started fiddling with my sound-system, as it was out-of-my-Suse-box, 
the sound _only_ worked if I was logged in graficly ! I couldnt simply go to 
a terminal and say "freeamp fjsdklf.mp3", but I had to log into my kde 
session first.

Because of this I assume there are some things going on when I start (and 
possibly when I stop) the XServer, that are not _normal_, and that propbaly 
are interfeering with my clean alsa-0.9 install ! 

I realy need help on this one ! PLEASE :)
Peter
