[Semi-OT]: Amarok opens UDP socket
Semi-OT because amaroK isn't an official package yet.
I was recently locking down the network services enabled on my workstation.
While looking around, I noticed a UDP socket I didn't recognize:
$ netstat -anu
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State
udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:33484 0.0.0.0:*
Not recognizing this, I fired up lsof:
$ lsof -i UDP
COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
amarokapp 6623 ieure 27u IPv4 19195 UDP *:33484
Investigating further, it seems like this socket is left open after clicking
on the 'Fetch stream information' button in the Streams tab. It isn't opened
when amaroK starts.
Does anyone know why this listener is laying around?
