I ran aim after a recent kernel update, and had a rather odd problem. I got an instant message from someone which resulted in a "ding" from aim. However, the ding never stopped dinging -- the sample repeated over and over again, and continues as I type. Even after the aim process exited. Sending additional sound output didn't make it go away either. KDE/arts, etc, don't seem to be involved in the problem, so it really seems like the kernel is looping the sample. When I try to unload pcm, I get: pcm0: unregister: channel pcm0:play:2 busy (pid 965) And there's no pid 965. paprika# cat /dev/sndstat FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm) Installed devices: pcm0: <ESS Technology Maestro3> at io 0xd800 irq 5 (4p/1r/0v channels duplex default) Any suggestions welcome; in the mean time, I'll just listen to it ding away ad naueseum.
