Morning, folks!

I have two obnoxiously small concerns about how sound works on my LM8.0 
machine, which has a VIA sound device using the VT82C686 [Apollo Super 
AC97/Audio] module (or, at least, so claims harddrake).

First, every now and then I get a "clunk" from the speakers, as if somebody 
had echoed one byte of data to /dev/audio. I haven't noticed any patterns 
about that, unfortunately.

Second, I wonder how to configure my sound device to play from more than one 
source at once. I know the sound card can do that; under Windows, application 
and system sounds could play over top of winamp with no problem. Under Linux, 
though, when I close XMMS, I get all the sounds queued up since XMMS got its 
lock on the sound card. 

These are both more like annoyances than actual complaints. Still, maybe 
there's an easy fix...

Thanks!
