[tde-devels] Re: discord web-interface in FF locks ALSA - discord app - fine

While I'm dropping by, This may already be fixed on TDE, but openSUSE's KDE3 has an issue where running discord in FF captures socket used by ALSA and kills the KDE3 system sounds. Closing the tab releases the socket and restore everything as it should be. Instead of using the discord web-interface, using the Linux desktop app, has no problem and the KDE3 sounds continue right on playing. If you want to test on TDE, just open the discord web-app in firefox. You can confirm the issue (well, your sound-theme would die...) by checking with aplay, e.g. $ aplay somefile.wav ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1032:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave aplay: main:831: audio open error: Device or resource busy I note here as I don't know if this is FF, or a base ALSA or KDE/TDE issue. If you patched for it, we may need to cherry-pick the commit. Keep up the great work all! -- David C.
