I'm trying to list available devices with 'webcamd -l' but it doesn't exit in 5 minutes. It should have a timeout when it communicates to devices and it should never take minutes to query devices.
I think I found the immediate cause: same as in bug#194727 May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: Waiting for sound application to exit! May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: unregister: mixer busy May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: Waiting for sound application to exit! May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: unregister: mixer busy May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: Waiting for sound application to exit! May 24 22:00:28 yv kernel: pcm6: unregister: mixer busy Once pulseaudio was killed - 'webcamd -l' began to return immediately.
bugmeister would like to thank Hans Petter for his years of ports maintenance and his work on FreeBSD in general. May he rest in peace. An in-memoriam can be read at https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-announce/2023-July/000076.html With hat: bugmeister
