(Get the code!)
Haven't been able to get it to crash today. However, I have observed some odd behavior:
If I play a youtube, rhythmbox won't play at the same time. When the Youtube ends, I have to restart Rhythmbox for it to play again. Same with VLC. However, if I leave my Rhythmbox playing, Youtube can't play sounds. I have to close Rhythmbox, then close Firefox, and then re-open.
Now, I spend hours on end playing from my Rhythmbox library or my VLC video (ahem) collection, whilst browsing the internet. The internet is full of flash with music, which I usually watch soundless if at all. But we're talking hours without closing these programs.
So, I suppose my question is, has this got to do with the way that Adobe's Flash is interfacing with the sound card? If so, is there a buffer that's filling and filling until it sends errors back to the program filling it? Or not sending a confirmation, leaving the program to keep the request open? This is pseudo-techie talk, so bear with me here, but it would explain why Pidgin still had 6-7 sound files open once the program was meant to be closed.
Thing is, Pidgin, Totem and Rhythmbox usually play well together. So is Adobe-Flash what's throwing the spanner in the works? Has anyone else affected by this got Adobe-Flash on their system?
It's another stab in the dark - I'll update when it crashes tomorrow ;)
