Fldigi seems to work when gMFSK does not. I have already tried shutting down everything but gMFSK (I think), and it still did not work. My latest wrinkle is that the T/R switch on my Omni has gone out, so I have no amp, and that is my next project. However, I will try one more thing soon. I will reboot, and try gMFSK as the first program after getting back into Linux. I strongly suspect that it will give me the same error message, but we shall see.
gMFSK uses the old OSS interface to the sound hardware. Support for that has been less than optimal in distributions for some time now. (There are also other problems besides problems with concurrent access, like poor sample rate conversions, clicks in the sound stream etc.) I'm assuming fldigi uses native ALSA or some other more modern access method to the sound hw. So until I get around rewriting gMFSK, you should probably use fldigi.
