like i said... pulse won't multistream audio from different applications simultaneously. but alsa will.
i don't know the inside of pulseaudio, but i believe the problem described by KenSentMe, which i also experience here, lies not in alsa but in pulseaudio. unfortunately, i believe, this bug here has more to do with totem and alsa than with pulse, therefore we should consider opening a new bug report for this. greetings from berlin On Fri, Jul 4, 2008 at 2:12 PM, KenSentMe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I installed your packages and switched to Pulse audio in the audio > settings.
