Re: XMMS goes silent when moving windows
I had a problem kind of like this when testing the late 2.3 and 2.4-pre kernels.
I had the opposite behaviour, but I think it is related.
What happened to me was that my MP3 player would get stuck and just emit a
constant tone after playing for some time. I could get it to unstick by moving
a window around.
The theory given when I asked about it on the linux-kernel mailing list was that
the X server was not freeing the PCI bus, and that moving a window would
generate activity in the server that caused it to become free.
This got fixed, but maybe it is broken again.
Tracking the problem down could be difficult. I would suggest asking about it
on the dri-devel mailing list (Accellerated 3D XWindows development, the Direct
Rendering Infrastructure).
At the time I was having the problem, though, I wasn't using DRI. But they
would probably have some idea. Are you using DRI? Which kernel version are you
using?
