Seems my player, audacious, was trying to get a chunk larger than what was left and failing with these IPC problems. mplayer, which I think just buffers a tiny amounnt, worked just fine. Kill -9 process, problem resolved. I found that I had a rogue firefox running which had devoured 86% of available ram.

I know that this post is kinda old, but while trying to play NWN1 I encounter this error on console: ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:975:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC semaphore Segmentation fault And even more, I have been getting problems in Ubuntu Jaunty since forever, sound problems. So, I would like to know if what you did could work for me as well or only in Fedora. Simon Hi! I know that this post is kinda old, but while trying to play NWN1 I encounter this error on console:

On a whim I changed my ipc_key, restarted alsa and tada! everything was happy. I suppose there was some kind of bizarre collision? *shrug* ... at any rate, I figure I'd put my 2 cents some place as a help to anyone who googles onto this in search of a solution.
