[Possibly SOLVED]CUPS vs ALSA/MPD/VLC, printing test page killed sound

Hey, I just got my freebie Dell 720 printer installed. I was using MPD at the time I tried to print out a test page (which turned out pretty neat), but MPD went whack and started repeating, as in "Da da da da da da da da" ad nauseum.

So, I tried killing MPD with "mpd --kill", but that didn't work. So I hunted down all the MPD instances and killed them manually. Great, the annoying sound went away. I started it up again, but the repeats/skips/problems were still there. So I killed it, tried opening up VLC, but again with the repeats.

I've restarted both ALSA and MPD through /etc/rc.d/, no luck.

I did get an error message about binding to localhost:6600, but cups is at the 600s, 631, that shouldn't interfere with port 6600?

But that shouldn't apply for VLC. Does anybody know what's going on? I'm going to reboot, the silence is awful sad

FROM THE FUTURE

I printed out a couple of pages while I wasn't playing anything through MPD/VLC, etc. Sound was fine afterwards. I guess doing multitasking through ports is a bad, bad thing for my system.

Sorry for bumping an old problem smile
