artsd does not suspend, /dev/dsp busy
Hello,
Off lately, I have noticed that arts doesnot suspend and hence other
processess do not output any sound as they see that /dev/dsp is busy.
This happens even if I kill artsd. After killing artsd, it restarts and
uses around 5MB of memory. However, when sound stops i.e. when all sound
processess see /dev/dsp busy, artsd starts to use more and more memory.
I have also seen it using around a 100MB.
Can someone help fix this? Thanks in advance.
I am using KDE 3.3.2-1 on my Debian Sid box.
