Version: 4.7 (using KDE 4.7.2) OS: Linux Just tested the following : Executed dolphin "kdesudo dolphin" click on any item for delete - it takes soumd time for playback "ding" click cancel and end dolphin. Now not any program started with "user" rights can play sound anymore. PusleAudio says always "[alsa-sink] alsa-sink.c: Error opening PCM device front:0: Das Gerät oder die Ressource ist belegt" When looking in a console window the following program still runs even that dolphin (or any other root program) was closed. /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p: root 13196 F...m knotify4 /dev/snd/timer: root 13196 f.... knotify4 If the "root" instance of "knotify4" is killed , sound playback as per user works correctly again. Also this bug prevents system shutdown from the KApplication Luncer (Desktop became darker but system fails to shutdown). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: start any KDE program that play sound with root rights (e.g. Dolphin). let the program play a sound (E.g. Dolphin click on "delete "a file) Close the program. Sound does now not work anymore for all users except root (busy). Actual Results: No sound since knotif4 is started for user "root". Expected Results: knotify4 for user "root" should be closed when no "root" program is running anymore.
Does it release the lock automatically after 5 minutes of sound inactivity?
no , it does not release sound even not after a few hours. knotify4 process for user root is still running, even when the caller "root" program is closed.

This may be related to pulseaudio. Are you using this configuration?
If I push the Daemon's Logs button in KSystemlog, after that no sound working in, for example, any player.
works for me
