Hi everyone,

I am using a COMPAQ Presario Pro 7500 PC with Mandrake 10.0 on it and I am 
unable to play multiple sound files together on it. (Windows 98 and 2000 used 
to be able to do that on this very hardware so I'm assuming it's not 
impossible.)

For eg. I'd like to be able to play Quake 3 Arena with XMMS playing songs in 
the background. But when I start Quake, it freezes till XMMS is done playing 
the current song and then takes control of the sound card, causing XMMS to 
throw up an error message saying "Couldn't open audio".

Here is what Harddrake says about my soundcard
Vendor: ESS Technology
Alternative drivers: snd-maestro3
Bus: PCI
Bus identification: 125d:1988:e11:b19d
Location on the bus: 1:5:0
Description: ES1988 Allegro-1
Module: maestro3
Media class: MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO

How do I configure my system to do that?

- AJ
