[gentoo-user] My Gentoo and Windows don't get along on vfat

2017-09-22 Thread Frank Steinmetzger
He guys, I regularly attach a friend’s external HDD to my laptop or NAS, both running “standard” Gentoo. The main partition is fat32 formatted. On and off she has problems mounting the drive, usually after I had it connected to one of my machines. It happened again today. So chronologically: 1) S

This sounds pretty normal to me. ALSA isn't really suited for simultaneous audio access. In general with ALSA you have only one program that can use audio at a time, or you use the mixer module from ALSA. I assume a program running on the background has claimed ALSA already for certain reasons.
