The currently best solution is to configure the DMIX plugin for ALSA (search alsa.opensrc.org for "sharing") and run both arts and esound on top of it. This way, arts and esound aware applications can play sound *as well as* applications which can output sound directly to the hardware device.
This is all correct, but it should be noted that dmix does NOT provide full-duplex capabilities: this means that you will probably be able to listen to sounds coming from different sources (applications) but you will not be able to do so while using skype, for example. Afaik "jack" should enable this, but I have never tried it.... AS -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
