I was going through my .wav file collection, and after a while (250 odd
playings) bplay died reporting there was "no room left on device". I tried
starting quake after this... segfault, like I predicted. DMA allocation
failed. I am nowhere near a sound guru, but this does not seem right, I
mean quake plays many sounds, a lot together, or in succession. More than
250 anyway. Is this a problem with bplay? If not, how can it be cured?
Playing mp3's still worked, and some other things did not. Has anybody
stumbled across this before? I am sorry, I can't supply more information,
I was silly and rebooted to fix the problem, hence losing the actual error
messages.
