Comment 7 for bug 1414345

Huh. Even more reproducible than I thought -- I'm thinking maybe the ram thing was a canard since I only go to tty1 when my ram is running low. I tried a bunch of times with ample ram and was able to still reproduce.

preconditions: you're in xorg/gnome on tty7 or whatever, audacious is open, you're also logged in on tty1 with just bash running

Step 2) press play on audacious
step 3) alt-ctrl-f1
step 4) alt-f2 (to change to different tty)

sound stops here (ie same as #3)

step 5) alt-f1 (to go back to terminal 1)

sound starts again.

step 6) go back to xorg alt-f7

sound stops here.

As for #4 I mean... the computer is running, I'm logged in xorg/gnome but not at that particular tty. I get silence...until I log in to the tty (then the music starts)

funny series:

if you, in tty1 log out of the current user ... the music stops. if you log in, the music starts again.
if you log out... and then change to tty2, then change back to tty1 (ie you're still just faced with a login screen...) the music starts again. And you can come back to xorg and it works....but if you go back to tty2 it stops.
