When i'm using xmms and i press the pause button evolution cannot download email.
Is this a knew bug or i've got some problem on my installation?
Probably because Evo has spawned aplay/play or whatever to make a "you
have
mail" sound, but xmms has ahold of the /dev/dsp. (a)play then sits there
waiting on its turn. Switch off mail announce sounds and it'll work.
I switched off mail announce sounds but problem still remain. If xmms is runnig and paused evolution even doesn't start, after pressing play it start correctly. In var/log/messages i cannot see anything
Do you have gaim running? I've seen gaim lay siege to /dev/dsp. Often. It could be that when you pause xmms, gaim seizes the sound device. It happens to me, but it doesn't lock up.
