Re: no voice from some applications



thanks very much,
first of all,
fuser /dev/dsp return nothing in my debian, while gnome-sound-recorder
still say /dev/dsp is in use (actually, xmms+arts is playing
meanwhile).

i have not try rare part of ur suggestion yet, however, in fedora, i
haven't never steup dmix and start esd manually. i am not sure whether
fedora did it automatically or it means the problem is from stardict
other than esd?

i will try to start esd, arts at the same time tommorrow. :-)
thanks again
