Thats a common Linux problem since the /dev/dsp (IIRC digital sound

playing a movie with sound at the same time won't work.
When the old process is still arround try finding and killing it via
'fuser /dev/dsp'
No, that's not the problem. I double checked that, e.g.:
~$ fuser /dev/dsp
~$ cat /dev/dsp
cat: /dev/dsp: No such device or address
~$ cat .bashrc > /dev/dsp
-bash: /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy
~$ fuser /dev/dsp

I was able to fix my problem with the fuser command bu t not anymore,
newer kernel.
as user or as root:
cat ~/.bashrc > /dev/dsp
cat: write error: No space left on device
and a very short sound/noise on the speakers. So my sounds works, like
XMMS in my other email, but only for a second and than it stops. Anyone...
Thanks,
Pander
