      Hi, Kubuntu user here and new to Strawberry player and love that it let's me redirect its output to my DAC.

      However, I get this error message frequently when selecting a tune from the play list:

      Could not open audio device for playback. Device is being used by another application.

      Even if you kill strawberry processes (strawberry tagreader) in system monitor it does nothing and I have to log out / in and start fresh.

      What process should I be killing, if any? Any ideas?

      Thanks
