That could mean that something else is using the OSS
devices and
audacity is just waiting for them to become free. Try to
see if
something is using /dev/dsp by doing a:
fuser /dev/dsp
(in a terminal)
Fernando
Other OSS apps work just fine. Nothing shows up with fuser. Weird weird. Xine will not
work with the HDSP/MF either (it starts up and immediately shuts down), and Mplayer will
work with the sdl output - the oss output is grainy, and the alsa9 won't work at all.
It has something to do with the card, because all of these things work fine with my
onboard card.
Thanks for your help,
Matt
