Re: KPSK v.1.0rc1 released (PSK31 for KDE 3.x)
I did some searching and found a few references to it. Apparently this is a
common problem & appears to be due to the way that artsd locks up the
soundcard. From the KDE soundserver documentation:
(option)"Autosuspend if idle for. Normally aRts locks the sound card device,
so that other applications cannot use it. If you enable this option, then if
aRts has been idle for the amount of time you set, it will suspend itself,
allowing any application access to the sound hardware. If aRts receives
another request, it will unsuspend, and continue as normal. Enabling this
option may cause a small delay when you start an aRts application."
Perhaps turning off the system sounds notifications would allow artsd to
suspend and allow other applications to use the sound device?
