I hope we don't need to change anything code-wise > I know it's a minor inconvenience if you are on a long flightgear flight > and would like to fire up your mp3 player in the background (and find > that you can't) but this is going to be a problem for any application > that uses sound and I don't really like the idea of overly complicating > the flightgear audio code just for this. Actually I was thinking about VoiP applications which can be used as "real" comms. I'm not familiar with multimeadia things and thought /dev/dsp is used directly without any wrapper which then blocks other applications. However, I will try to use some sound daemons. But does it work on all supported plattforms? regards, Oliver _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
