Hi Fernando:
Yes, it was running, but he (my client) told me that it was broken
when he tried running RP without artsd too. He also informed me that he
had not rebooted the machine for a couple of days, and I'm wondering if
our MusE adventures knocked out an audio device. Is that possible ?

I installed RealPlayer on a machine running RH

first it worked fine, but now it gets the following error on startup
under KDE :
SNDCTL_DSP_SETFMT failed
Cannot allocate memory
Anyone know how to resolve the problem ? Is artsd the culprit here ?
Hmmm, why artsd? Do you have it running?
RealPlayer also complains that another
application has the sound
device. Weird: this machine has a SBLive installed with the PlanetC ALSA
drivers, I don't understand why RealPlayer complains about not being
able to access the device. So, how do I check to see who's hogging the
resources ?
I think you can use "fuser", so for example do:
fuser /dev/dsp
and it should tell you which processes if any are using the resource...
I think realplayer uses the oss api.
