It appears that the application you are trying to run is attempting to access the same device which is already in use byanother application. I have had similar problems when using XMMS with OSS Driver. The workaround is to use the ESD (eSound plugin) for XMMS (at least on my system). Strangely enough, this problem occurs when one song finishes and the playlist advances to the next song, again this problem does not occur unless i try to start another application that uses sound output. I've had trouble with some Linux systems too while playing MPlayer (video player), fortunately in each case i could specify the output sound driver.
I don't use RealPlayer so i can't suggest the exact remedy, but try setting the audio output plugin to esd. I have found it better (gives less problems when running other applications using sound) to turn of the audio servers when using gnome/kde |
