Re: [OSS Proxy] EIO from osspd

[<pg...@fo...>]

my apologies.  it seems that somewhere during my testing, pulseaudio
had died or been killed.

the errors from nasd were a result of pulseaudio having gone missing.

the osstest errors, however, seem to be the result of insufficient
permissions:  sudo eliminates the EIO errors.

sorry for the noise.

it still seems like i can't get sound via oss and directly via pulseaudio
(from the local browser) at the same time -- nasd blocks until the active
browser window goes away.  is this normal?  i would have thought a system
purported to be as sophisticated as pulseaudio would allow mixing of the
streams.
