If it can't share the sounds device, and it is erratic as to when it works, it seems more likely some other application isn't using ALSA, but defaulting to some older method of playing sounds. I dare say using judicious use of "fuser" (e.g. "fuser /dev/dsp" and similar) usually throws up the culprit, and you can usually go into that applications settings and say "use ALSA". Although most current distros have no sounds sharing issues, because everything defaults to using ALSA. ALSA does sound sharing in software if the sound card can't do the mixing for you. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
