), you can hear more > than one program playing sound at the same time. 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: _ _ /\ _ __ __ _| | _ ___ | /__\|\ || ||__ |\ || |___|/_\|___] | /\ \_||__ ||___| \_|! | | \ \ !
