Summary: kded4 does not release /dev/dsp and blocks sound
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: SuSE RPMs
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org

Hi,
After some time working in kde my skype stops making calls telling me the error
"problem with audio playback".
After restarting computer if works ok for some time, but after a while starts
showing me this error again.
/dev/dsp is set to be used for all audio devices in skype options.
If I run it from console, it shows the following error:
> skype
RtApiOss: OSS playback device (/dev/dsp) is busy
fuser for /dev/dsp shows the following output:
> fuser -m -v /dev/dsp
USER PID ACCESS COMMAND
/dev/dsp:
benderamp 1336 f.... konqueror
benderamp 1338 f.... kio_file
benderamp 1344 f.... kio_http
benderamp 1434 f.... kio_http
benderamp 3418 F...m kded4
benderamp 3444 f.... kwrapper4
benderamp 3445 f.... ksmserver
benderamp 3449 f.... kglobalaccel
benderamp 3459 f.... plasma-desktop
benderamp 3460 F.... knotify4
benderamp 3510 f.... kaccess
so, kded4 is the process who uses /dev/dsp. I also had amarok shown in this
list with "m" flag, but I killed it and only kded4 has left.
I have found out that kded4 is the core kde daemon. After killing it the whole
desktop has fallen apart (plasma crashed), but skype started making calls.
I am wondering if there is another way to make kded4 release /dev/dsp without
such radical effect.
