[Bug 372527] [NEW] ktorrent locks audio device

[Martin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ktorrent

Over the past days it happened to me several times that audio all of a
sudden would stop working. It seems ktorrent is causing this.

This is what mplayer said when I tried to play a video in that situation:

This is the output of lsof that I got (after killing knotify4 and
kmixer, which didn't help):

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ lsof|grep snd

After closing ktorrent, all was fine again.

I don't know how to reproduce it unfortunately.
