Description Richard Hult 2004-01-22 17:00:04 UTC 
Gnome-volume-control and the mixer applet both hang on startup when
/dev/dsp is used by another application. Strace says:

 open("/dev/dsp", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE
Comment 1 Ronald Bultje 2004-01-22 18:02:47 UTC 
There was supposed to be some workaround code for this in
gst_oss_element_open(), but apparently that doesn't really work here...

Looking into it...
Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2004-01-22 20:47:05 UTC 
Oh, d'oh. Found it. Indeed, we don't open /dev/dsp when using the mixer.

..

But we do for autodetecting devices. DOH!

Fix locally, I'll commit tomorrow, FDO CVS is misbehaving here, I
can't reach it...
Comment 3 Ronald Bultje 2004-01-22 20:50:26 UTC 
Nevermind, CVS works again, fix applied, so closing...

Thanks for reporting, I'd never have noticed because I don't have such
a soundcard. ;).
