hello,<br>
<br>
im using Ubuntu Jaunty and have problems with sound in PD 0.41.4-extended<br>
when using simultaneously Firefox and/or Audacious.<br>
<br>
If i start PD sooner then firefox and audacious, they dont make any sounds<br>
but sound in pd works ok. If i start PD later, firefox and audacious work<br>
fine, but sound in PD gets stuck with:<br>
snd_pcm_open (output): Device or resource busy (in the shell)<br>
audio I/O stuck... closing audio (in pd console)<br>
<br>
Both FF and Audacious are using the pulseaudio server. I tried to create a<br>
/etc/asound.conf, to create a new device:<br>
<br>
pcm.pulse {<br>
type pulse<br>
}<br>
ctl.pulse {<br>
type pulse<br>
}<br>
pcm.!default {<br>
type pulse<br>
}<br>
ctl.!default {<br>
type pulse<br>
}<br>
<br>
and use it with pd -alsa -alsaadd pulse, but the audio output in pd still<br>
doesnt work when running some other sound applications. When running pd<br>
alone like this, the sound is severely garbled and after a while it hangs<br>
the same...<br>
<br>
Is there some normal way how to handle this ? I mean it should not be a<br>
problem using several application at once but apparently pd has some<br>
problems with it..<br>
<br>
Thanks for any advices..<br><br></blockquote><div><br>What about running PD + Audacious with their respective Jack plugins? You wouldn't get sound from FF in that case, but both PD and Audacious would output audio... <br>
