So, for preventing with GM-artsd conflicting, I start GM via script "gmeeting" that kill artsd when GM start. Also I use script "gmguard" via crond (each minute) to prevent from starting artsd when GM is running. Scripts are in attach. Of course, you can't use any artsd application when GM running (noatun etc..) and must use xmms with settings for direct output to soundcard (i.e. not via soundserver). > Sorry, I lost the thread, so I had to start a new one... > > Last week I was asked if GM from a CVS snapshot was better > behaved when artsd was running (so /dev/dsp was busy), as the > 0.98.5 version I had was locking up at startup and leaving my > camera busy forcing me to reboot... > > Yes it (20040125-1 on mdk) works much better, reporting that > the device is busy and enabling me to shut down GM cleanly > and freeing up the camera.
