Hi, when you want to hear sound from more than one program, you need multiplexing (that is, mixing several audiostreams together). Best and easiest way is to use a soundcard for which the alsa-driver supports hw-multiplexing (see http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/). There are also some sw-multiplexing mechanisms available. eg arts which is part of KDE, gnome has it's own but I forgot it's name. Alsa directly supports sw-multiplexing, too. You have to setup a dmix device therfore (again see the alsa web page). regards Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
