Sound from multiple sources
How would I make it so I can hear sounds from multiple sources? For instance, I'd like to have xmms playing music in the background as I play UT2004 or other games, but whenever I try, the program who was playing sound first 'takes authority' and cancels out the sound of the other program.
Thanks ahead of time for your responses. |
You'll need to use ALSA for sound and use the dmix plugin to mix sounds. This works well, but some apps aren't alsa-aware and will not play sound if another app is already playing a sound.

Is there a way to do it without using Alsa? I have a lot of difficulty when trying to use Alsa with my soundcard, unfortunately, and am using OSS.

I don't know if it's possible with OSS. I switched to alsa along with switching to the 2.6 version of the kernel.
What kind of soundcard do you have and what kind of problems did you encounter configuring alsa? |
I don't remember what problems I had with Alsa, I set up this box a while ago; I am using a Creative SoundBlaster Live 24-bit.

try searching the forums a bit to see if someone else might have your same problem, i.e.:
