KDE starts its own sound daemon artsd (sorry - i don't know if its part of the kde-project but it gets started....), which then blocks the dsp-file. there are possible workarounds - for xmms there exists an artsd-plugin. i dont us it because it performs bad on my system (when i play mp3, i can't do anything else without interrupting the mp3-playback). so i kill artsd (it comes back up if needed, for instance for notification-sounds of kmail...). the easiest way: lsof | grep dsp kill <pid> lsof lists all open files and who uses them - we grep for dsp and get the pid for artsd, which we then kill. of course you can also go via ps -ef | grep arts with no problems. playback with non-kde-apps should then work fine. maybe you want to install the following debian-packages: lsof, xmmsarts hope this helps... have a nice day, Pascal -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+/FAsSKs3riTPr4cRAjbLAJ4gTImyULyfRmLc3Zr2bVs2TYNpXACfR6dn sX96484Vau1+5SfXg13N4ek= =GqWN -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
