Description Kasper Ronning 2004-10-18 01:01:04 UTC 
This might be due to my sound setup: I'm not running esd. I use ALSA and have
OSS emulation in the kernel. I believe the gnome-settings-daemon shouldn't hold
on to /dev/mixer (but I'm not sure).

$ lsof /dev/mixer
COMMAND    PID   USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
gnome-set 4807 kasper   34u   CHR   14,0      5905 /dev/mixer

The relevant code is probably in
gnome-settings-daemon/actions/acme-volume-oss.c, line 177: close() on the fd is
only called if acme_volume_oss_mixer_check() returns true.
