ALSA, esd, arts, etc. If you're running KDE, you probably want to choose
arts. This is probably true, especially if 2 is also true.

2 means that your sound card may not support mixing in hardware, which means
that only one program can write to it at once. That is probably the case
with your hardware. What you have to do in this instance is write to a sound
server, which mixes in software and sends the result to the hardware -> esd
and arts are the most common sound servers used to do this (esd in GNOME,
arts in KDE).

Arts used to hang in out in one of KDE's menus .... it doesn't appear to be 
present in RH 8.0?  I've selected Open Sound System as the server and the 
problem persists.  I Know my soundcard can play sets of sounds at once under 
winblows.

Got to go ... thanks all
