shellex/Hotot — Issue #78: Sound only with Hotot.
Author: gnujeremie
Created: 2011-11-20 18:27:27+00:00
State: open

When hotot is launched, the sound device can't be used by other programs, and only hotot audio notifications are ok.

VLC logs : "[0x8dfe5cc] pulse audio output error: cannot connect to server: Connection refused
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1018:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
[0x8dfe5cc] oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp)"

If I then close Hotot, sound comes back.

Debian Testing.
The problem appears with hotot in testing repos and the last github version.
