But you can't switch xservers on the fly, or can you (the OP doesn't want the music to stop)? For xmms alternatives, I'd recommend alsaplayer is a music player that can run without X, (package "alsaplayer-text"). It can even play CD's thru digital extraction (without your sound card being physically cabled to your cdrom drive). And no it doesn't require alsa to run. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
