Following up on my preceding comment, when I restart pulseaudio, I get sound back on foobillard and have no problem closing it, so in my case at least, the problem with closing foobillard seems to be related to pulseaudio.
When sound is not working in foobillard, and I restart it after killing it, I get the following message in syslog: pulseaudio[1825]: ratelimit.c: 4 events suppressed Sometimes it's 2 or 3 events suppresssed. -- Foobillard refuses to close correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/471056 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
