Summary:                    Sometimes XMMS stop playing songs (dmix used)
Description: 
Sometimes XMMS stop playing songs and show message that says "Audio device
not
properly configured or busy". It happends when new song just start
playing. If I click on Play button, songs continued playing. 

I can't repeat this bug, it happends 3-5 times in day.

If i start mpg123 and xmms they are play simultaniously (even if i start
10
copies of mpg123)

This is output from xmms:

ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:1057:(snd_pcm_hw_open) open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed:
Device
or resource busy
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:868:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
 
** WARNING **: alsa_setup(): Failed to open pcm device (default): Device
or
resource busy

Yes, there is some mmap bug. But in my case it happens only in case of
conversion. If I'm playing a file in a format that isn't supported by my
rme32 hardware (e.g. mono) it will hang and the prompt doesn't came back
(infinite loop?). Formats that are supported by the hardware are running
fine.

This happens with aplay, so it's not related to xmms.
The rme32 in halfduplex-mode works with mmap and that's the reason why I
believe it's the same bug.

At least my rme32 problems are fixed in CVS. (see also bug
https://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/alsa-bug/view.php?id=611 for a
patch)
