So suppose I have managed to configure two sound cards on my computer and I
have two mp3 songs and I open two instances of xmms (which as somebody told
me is possible, haven't tried it yet, don't know how). Each xmms window
playing a different mp3 song. So can I direct the output of each of the xmms
instances to different sound cards? That is simulataneously have two mp3
songs playing but each one of them coming from different sound cards.
Purpose - well something like DJing, I have a sound mixer which can take
multiple inputs and I would like to mix the songs manually through the
mixer.
Thanks,
Jeff
