Audio device not being closed consistently?

Reported by: kcarmich@… Owned by: JYA
Priority: minor Milestone: unknown
Component: MythTV - Audio Output Version: head
Severity: medium Keywords: audio alsa spdif
Cc: Ticket locked: no

Description

I have noticed that I am getting errors on a regular basis where I try to watch a record show and mythtv is unable to open the audio device, and the solution is that I need to exit mythtv frontend and restart to get access to the audio device again.

I am using alsa audio and output to spdif. which doesnt allow multiple access to the sound card.

Looks like a PulseAudio? issue and not myth.

Disable pulseaudio server.
