It sounds to me like this is a typical (Windows) problem with the sound
device. Assuming that people have Quicktime installed (you have
Quicktime movies in your project, right?) you can set the soundDevice to
"QT3mix" (check the help or lingo dictionary for the exact syntax), and
that should at least give you both sounds at once.
I don't know that Xtra (well, I know of it), but I do know that a CDROM
drive has a single laser to read the disk, so there will always be
problems streaming data from two places at once. The usual problem is
stuttering audio and/or dropped frames, and the extent of the problem is
very hardware specific.
If there is more RAM to buffer the data, and a faster CDROM drive, you
may not experience any problems at all, but be sure to test on a
crappier machine.
Related, but off topic question:
Does anyone know of a CDROM drive that has more than one laser/head?
Why isn't this a standard yet? A single laser is ok for playing audio
CDs, but much less effective for data. More than one would surely boost
multimedia performance considerably.
