From time to time sound stop working on a system, as if a MUTE had been
selected. This usually happens when an audio program fails in some way.
I've checked with several mixers to see if MUTE is set, it seems not to
be. I've used lsof to check for something locking a device. The failure
is persistent, indicating that something with state has been set.
In some cases all sounds stops working, in others mplayer works but xmms
and mpg123 fail. Sometimes Realplayer stops working.
Systems include RH7.3, 9.0, RHEL 3.0, and FC1, so it's some common odd
behaviour. Some systems have OSS and some ALSA.
Can someone give me a clue, it's beyond annoying not to be able to get
these systems working again!
