[kde-linux] Phonon: Simultaneous sound problem

Sun Jan 4 17:01:08 UTC 2009

Hello, I'm using Slackware 12.1 + KDE 4.1
I'm getting problems with the simultaneous sound of applications that use
Phonon. Ex: If I run 2 applications that don't use Phonon like Audacious and
VLC, the sound works fine. but if I run application that use Phonon like
Amarok2 and SmPlayer, then the sound works only in the first application
that I opened.
Here's the error that appear in SMPlayer when the sound is being used by
Amarok2:
Debug: [15:32:37] MplayerProcess:arseLine: '[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib:
pcm_hw.c:1099snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed: Device or
resource busy'
Debug: [15:32:37] MplayerProcess:arseLine: '[AO_ALSA] alsa-lib:
pcm_dmix.c:866snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave'

The backend is xine

When I run one of this Phonon applications I get a message like that:
Audio Device Playback HDA VIA VT82xx (Analog) does not work
Falling back to HDA VIA VT82xx (Front speakers)

A ordem de preferencia dos output devices ta a seguinte:
My preference order output devices is that:
HDA VIA VT82xx(ALC861 Analog)
ESound(ESD)
aRts

This starts to happen after I try to optimize my boot time, So I get some
hints from internet, I take off some scripts from startup and put my modules
at rc.modules.
Here's the scrips active and inactive (the active have a '*' )
