If I have any sort of music/video app (i.e. Musik, XMMS, Xine, Totem) open, then if I try and open another app that needs a soundcard, said program basically temporarily freezes for like 10-15 seconds on loading up and then declares that /dev/dsp is busy/missing. If that was confusing, here it is in easier terms:
- I always have Musik open to play my mp3's (it is an awesome Itunes-like app btw)
- If I want to open Xine in order to play a movie, I have to first close Musik, less Xine complain that /dev/dsp is busy.
I did find a way around this by using ESD, but I get scratches and pops with ESD when listening to mp3's, so I would like to use Alsa. I was told on the Gentoo forums that I needed to make sure my card hard 'hardware mixing' support, and I checked the Alsa matrix, and I it says it does (at least, I think it does ;)).
Anyway, if anyone could shed light on this, I would be *greatly* appreciative.
Thanks.
