Comment 5 for bug 34983

Woah, it's been a while.

I'm not running Gutsy at the moment. I've decided not to upgrade before the official release, for various reasons.

BUT, I can confirm this still happens on Feisty. I started artsd and esd the same way, and ended up with the same symptom of artsd being blocked.

When tested with mplayer -ao, sound play through esd, but not through artsd. It's apparently not accepting any connections.

stracing artsd shows the same endless loop with numerous call to write().

I conclude that nothing has changed about this bug.
