Player worked fine yesterday. Today I upgraded to Hijack v400, and emphatic 2.00-rc1. No other changes. Plays 2 seconds, then never plays again. Tuner works fine.

So I stopped emphatic. Still loses. Backed out to hijack 399 which i had before. Still loses. Backed out to 3 alpha 7 from 3 alpha 8. Still loses.

Doesn't matter which file I'm playing. The player application continues to run. The clock continues to update. The UI is responsive, it's just as if the audio device has blocked forever.

But...
if I use madplay on an mp3 which lsof shows the player had open at the time of lossage, it plays on through.

I'm missing something here...
