Hello. Sometimes, I have strange problem with knotify blocking the default ALSA sound device. It looks the following way: -----------------8<---------------------------- lena:~> play /usr/share/sounds/pop.wav ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave play FAIL formats: can't open output file `default': snd_pcm_open error: Device or resource busy lena:~> fuser /dev/snd/* /dev/snd/controlC0: 5326 5475 /dev/snd/controlC1: 5326 5475 /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: 5415m lena:~> ps aux | grep 5415 alina 5415 1.8 1.5 525252 28100 ?
