Yes, but only if the programs that want to play sound make their call through artsd. If you've got a non-arts program that expects to drop sound onto the /dev/dsp device file directly, it chucks a hissyfit because artsd has already claimed it. (At least on my soundcard.) Occasionally you can use artsdsp to fit things in, but not always. -- Joal Heagney is: _ _ /\ _ __ __ _| | _ ___ | /__\|\ || ||__ |\ || |___|/_\|___] | /\ \_||__ ||___| \_|! | | \ \ !

It used to be that only one program could access the sound device at a time, but with the advent of the sound daemons (most notably artsd), you can hear more than one program playing sound at the same time. -- Sincerely, David Walluck <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

The same for me ( SBLive ). the problem is to find a way to compensate the lack of full duplex when your drivers doen't support it. it's really a pain. Several people when they use linux first time with and old sound card without full duplex support are a little bit disappointed. Most of the time they hear mp3 with xmms and use licq, and unless they stop xmms, they can't hear licq notifications. I manage to convince one to buy a Creative SBLive, but I'm not going to do that everytime. It will be interesting if we could find a workaround. I will have a look at it. I really hope that there is a solution, or that we can have multiplex everything thanks to a soft. -- Copyleft Faber's prod. 2001 http://perso.wanadoo.fr/linux_wizard/index.html

I'm using for example the libOSS driver in XMMS and ogg123 in a console, and can hear the two files together. I don't know what you want more. Grégoire PS : I'm not using KDE though.

That means that the artsd is working, which takes control of /dev/dsp. While artsd is running (It can be set to start up at login.) any program that tries to directly connect to /dev/dsp may return an error if you start it from the command-line, and definitely start (if it starts at all) without sound. If you're not starting it from the command-line, you miss any error messages and wonder what the hells going on. *speaking from experience* At command-line, try killall artsd program-name After program finishes, artsd & as normal user to restore KDE sound. There is a program called artsdsp that tries to emulate the /dev/dsp file, so you may be able to get a program running with arts. However, I've tried running on LM8.0 artsd & artsdsp esd &(Works - gives me arts and esd services.) artsdsp festival_server (A voice synthesiser server.) and it seems that only one artsdsp connection can be made at the same time. Additionally, I tried the mirror of this esd & esddsp artsd & And arts will not connect to the esd emulation of /dev/dsp. *sighs* What would be nice is if esd and/or artsd could be set up like a sound-tee. Artsd/esd connect to the soundcard and serve arts/esound calls. Additionally any calls to /dev/dsp are routed automatically to a pipe in the sound server that acts like /dev/dsp. What would be REALLY nice is if they could be set up to supply lots of pipes, eg. /dev/dsp, /dev/dsp1, /dev/dsp2 and all calls are mixed by the server. Yeah.

Hi VERSION (rsync ftp.sunet.se) /ChangeLog/1.568/Thu Sep 6 16:33:18 2001// Mandrake Linux Cooker-i586 20010906 22:17 I had some murky experiences of sound, in this install. No sound at the start of KDE, but that has come back, none still in FlightGear and none in RealPlayer. I went to Mdk Control Center, my SB AWE 64 PNP was set at 210/6 and it has always run at 220/5. I went into old sndconfig and then it came up in the old numbers and I have sound at the start of KDE and in RealPlayer. regards guran -- Mandrake Linux 8.1 beta Cooker kernel-2.4.8-19 vers:1.568
