Hi,
How can I find out which app. keeps /dev/dsp busy?
Without any other sound application running, I got this message when
starting mplayer or realaudio. Somehow the system got muddled up.
After some random trial and error, I finally discovered that everything
came back to normal when I killed xscreensaver.
So for some reason xscreensaver kept /dev/dsp busy.
Is there a command to find out directly which app. keeps /dev/dsp busy?
Thanks,
Rob.
