Hello,
I am using TCSH and rxvt. I wanted to play an ogg file in the background while doing other work. So I issued the command and put it in the background.
Code:
% ogg123 musicfile.ogg &
Problem is that ogg123 output takes over the term window.
Code:
% ogg123 musicfile.ogg &
[1] 8664
%
Audio Device: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) output
Playing: musicfile.ogg
Ogg Vorbis stream: 2 channel, 44100 Hz
Time: 00:02.11 [6:15.99] of 6:18.11 ( 97.0 kbps) Output Buffer 93.8%
I thus can't do anything else in that term window, which defeats the whole purpose of putting the job in the background. Any thoughts?
