Subject: [newbie] System speaker busies out /dev/dsp
Anybody else noticed this? Do something to cause the system to beep at
you (like trying to tab-complete an impossible string of characters)
then use mpg123 or something. The sound device /dev/dsp is busy for
sometimes 60 seconds or so after the last beep.
---
Something is wrong.
I get no such result with a SBLive.
---
What's the deal? Do I have something misconfigured?
---
Maybe. Also are you running a sound daemon?
---
Also, I'd dearly love to be able to have the system beep AND play an mp3
at the same time. It's possible under Windows. Is the whole /dev concept
just too "fileish" to allow multiple sources for sound to get to the
audio device?
---
For this you need a sound card that can handle multiple playback streams
at the same time.
What do you have?
