hi!
does anyone know a way how to "share" the soundcard?
e.g. i want to use kde and xmms..
now when kde plays some sound, xmms comes up with the error message
"bla blah, soundcard is blocker by another programm"

is there a way to "share" the soundcard (like in windows)?
ive got a ibm thinkpadt t42 with a "AC '97 Compliant" soundcard.
thx in advance!

Yes.

its called mixing.

you can use a software mixer (like the arts sound server)
If you are usin KDE then arts is probably running, configure xmms to use arts as its sound output pluggin.

Alternativly, you can use a mixer at the driver level. have a look on the ALSA home-page on how to configure mixing at the driver level.

just set XMMS to use the ALSA sound driver (the newest default sound system, included in 2.6.x kernel) instead of OSS (the deprecated, old, crappy soundsystem that can only play 1 program @ a time)

Had a problem with this a while ago.

I think this link might help you out.

(although it's fedora, it should work on any other linux distro)
