I've tried playing an album through Emacs (today's CVS) like this: (apply 'start-process (append (list "my-process" nil "/usr/bin/mplayer") (cdr (cdr (directory-files "/home/cyd/music/aq" t))))) 15 minutes later, it's still playing; I observe no freeze in the output. Do all subprocess all eventually stop for you, or does it happen only some of the times you run a subprocess? I've tried this 3 times: on X in an X window, in an xterm with "emacs -nw", and on the Linux console.
