[linux-audio-dev] Sick of rebooting

I'm hoping there's a simple solution to this that I've just missed somewhere along the line. Occasionally something will crash while using oss emulation and I can't use the sound card until I reboot. I've tried lsof /dev/dsp and as many other variations as I can think of and I never get anything (even when sound is playing), which I think is related to using devfs. I've also tried fuser, and good old visual grep on the output of ps and nothing is running that would use the soundcard yet I can't unload the snd-pcm-oss module. This time it was timidity (which I have promptly uninstalled since this version seems capable of nothing other than locking up my soundcard), but it has been mplayer in the past. Is there some way to restore access to the sound card short of rebooting? -- Hans Fugal | De gustibus non disputandum est. http://hans.fugal.net/ | Debian, vim, mutt, ruby, text, gpg http://gdmxml.fugal.net/ | WindowMaker, gaim, UTF-8, RISC, JS Bach --------------------------------------------------------------------- GnuPG Fingerprint: 6940 87C5 6610 567F 1E95 CB5E FC98 E8CD E0AA D460
