Your ~/.asoundrc specifies the default pcm to use, but it does not disable the other ones. An application can have its own separate setting which output to use, or it might still use the legacy OSS devices (/dev/dsp*). You have to check the setting for the output in the application; it should be possible to specify "ALSA" and "default device" or something similar. (I do not know audacious at all, but that is how many applications handle it.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
