I am experincing the same Problem on karmic now. When I am playing any sort of sound in any other application the mpd log comes up with the message: "output: Failed to open "My ALSA Device" [alsa]: Failed to open ALSA device "hw:0,0": Device or resource busy" when i am hitting the Play button in a local or remote Client.
Than if I exit all programs accessing ALSA, after a few seconds MPD is willing to play music. But than (as described in the title) all the other applications are muted. This was not the case on jaunty. I did not use pulse on Jaunty, in order to get my external soundcard working I had only ALSA installed and I am pretty sure that I heard pidgin notifications while listening to music in MPD. Now I can't test it anymore, cause i have replaced jaunty with karmic. The only changes i made in the mpd.conf was that I set the mixer_type to softare, but changing it back to hardware does not solve the issue. Any help on this would be appreciated. -- MPD Prevents Other Applications from Using Audio while not stopped https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364475 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
