Can't play more than one sound at a time
 

When one sound is playing (e.g. music in XMMS), no other programs can play sounds (e.g. the sound that plays when a contact signs in on Gaim). Is there a way that I can have multiple sounds playing like on windows, or is this something that I just have to live with on linux?

I'm running FC3 with an on-board realtek sound card if that helps.

Are tou using KDE instead of the default gnome?

Hi,

you need sound server or you can configure your Alsa drivers for using DMIX plugin (see http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DMixPlugin).

You can also search LinuxQuestions forum.

like Vookimedlo said, you need a sound server. If you're running OSS, go for esd; if you're running alsa, go for jackd or esd;
