I'm testing a possible correlation when using XMMS, etc. It could be. My personal experience with apps sharing sound devices is not very nice, I've experienced some lockups (recently xine was misteriously locking when launched; the problem was that XMMS was active... =/). Make sure you try it with other apps that also use sound turned off, and see if lockups still happen. ... I am eagerly waiting for JACK [http://jackit.sourceforge.net/] to become gold and mainstream, hopefully it will be a better solution than esd/arts. HTH Andre -- Andre Oliveira da Costa
