That's good to know, I will get one of those next time I need to buy a soundcard. What happens here is that if I am using some application that uses sound (such as xmms), the sounds from other apps (Licq for example) will wait until I am done with xmms. As soon as I stop using xmms, all the Licq event sounds that were "waiting" will now play sequentially. It was rather amusing when it happened the first time and I thought I had many ICQ messages, but I had none, since I had already read them, the sounds that were triggered by those events just had not played. -- 8) [EMAIL PROTECTED]@p: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by: Beat the post-holiday blues Get a FREE limited edition SourceForge.net t-shirt from ThinkGeek.
