GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 84694
PAUSED in practice

an player applet that I made to use gst as vocalist, which has thread pipeline of (gnomevfssrc|spider|esdout), make all other environment that invoke esd or raw audio device stalled, such as mozilla, galeon, etc. I think gst has leak of PAUSED in practice. wtay said me that gst does not release audio device on PAUSED, and cannot be NULL to release for some dependencies on audio device clock(I don't know much). and he said that will be see could be. I hope gst-player feature PAUSED soon.
this is intentionally. You should set it to READY to release the device. btw, esd should do mixing for you; if it doesn't work with esound something else is wrong.
