Hi everybody,
I m using redhat 9. I cant play more than one sound simultaniously. For this reason many time i get error "sound card is blocked" while playing XMMS. Is it common or is it due to some config prob. If so then pls give me its solution.
Thanx
if you use gnome, use esd output. if you use kde use arts output. you can also try alsa output. you are probably trying to use oss by default, which is crap, old and requires exclusive sound card access to work
