For some reason I can't play sounds from two programs at once.
Example, I'm running gaim and xmms. If I run xmms I can't here anything in gaim, then when the music stops, all the sound get played. If I run skype, i can't here anything in xmms or gaim. I dunno why, is this an option? its very annoying.
I had the same problem with my nvidia soundstorm audio chip on my giga-byte ga-7n400pro motherboard. Here is how i solved this problem. I went to ebay and picked up a cheap sound blaster live pci card. there problem solved.
i had the same problem... what i did was set everything to use esound or ESD.
so for xmms, go to options -> preferences and under Output plugin, choose eSound Output Plugin.
for gaim, tools -> preferences -> Sounds and choose ESD as the Sound Method. (didn't work when it was set to Automatic for me)
while i was at it, i went ahead and set ESD as the Output and Input in the Default Sink and Source for the GStreamer Preferences (Applications -> Preferences -> More Preferences -> Multimedia Systems Selector). Still not sure if this part is really required or not, i'm still a myself, but it didn't seem to hurt either.
