Yeah, I noticed.  But it *did* work at one point, under KDE.  I
do not understand why.  Right in the middle of changing one of
the visualization plugins, it suddenly stopped working.  I was
not able to recover its operation.

Perhaps the KDE sound system committed suicide at one point, then
was restored by some other part of KDE?

If it were my system and my login, I'd not even be using KDE.
I'm reluctant to recommend that this user kill off the KDE sound
system, but if there's a patch or output plugin to let XMMS talk
to KDE's sound, that would be good.

Hm.  You think that that will fix the device blocking?  I'll
give it a try, but I do not see why it would matter.


Thanks for the help.
