I was wondering. I'm using alsa, setup as in the desktop help.

Whenever I use something that makes a sound and turn it off, eg. xmms, turn that off and start a dvd or something, I get an error about sound device being busy.

My friend told me that arts hogs the output for about a minute after a sound ends.

What can be done about this?

Three possible soultions:

1. Set arts time out to shorter value (I use 3sec). In the control center select:
Sound | Sound Server | Auto suspend if ide for

2. Start the program via artsdsp (which tunnels sound through arts) e.g:
Code:
artsdsp xmms

3. If the program has output plugin for arts choose the plugin as output (xmms has xmms-arts).
