Which soundfile is it? /dev/dsp? If so: Only one application at a time can hold the soundfile for writing; if you want to play multiple applications you'll need a soundserver. I guess you're on Gnome, so esound should be your friend (at least if both gaim and evolution have an output plugin for esound). > I added an Inbox Monitor to my > panel because evolution sound wasn't working.
