RythmBox isn't the only application that this is happening with. I was considering submitting another bug, but it seems that the problem that I'm having is the same underlying problem.
I can play music through Amarok, and use firefox 3b5 fine, but somehow I think firefox grabs the sound device after some time, and if I leave for awhile, Amarok freezes. I get pulseaudio[6006]: module-alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Device or resource busy in syslog. If I kill Amarok and firefox, I can then open amarok again and it will play music. Oh, and amarok freezes every time I restart it, until I close firefox. There is another, perhaps related, bug, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/209198, where they suggest 'For firefox you can set in /etc/firefox-3.0/firefoxrc FIREFOX_DSP="padsp"' But firefoxrc doesn't exist. -- sound only works in one program at a time https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/220073 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
