Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Sound Problem, Suse 8.1 with Alsa, Laptop and so on

thanks..

it seems it was the Artsd which blocked the soundcard...
i "killed" it, but actually, it didnt help..
nothings blocks the soundcard anymore (i think),

lsof /dev/dsp
COMMAND  PID USER   FD   TYPE DEVICE SIZE  NODE NAME
artsd   5949 sigi    8u   CHR   14,3      35258 /dev/dsp0
linux:~ # kill 5949
linux:~ # lsof /dev/dsp
linux:~ # lsof /dev/dsp

the wizard doesnt complain anymore, but i still dont transmit any sound 
data....

do you have any other hints?
