Well... except with stuff that insists on using exclusive mode access. |
| 18 |
arts is one such "stuff", one of the big reasons folks have such |
| 19 |
difficulty with it. Use it, and everything else has to play thru arts, or |
| 20 |
not play at all, when arts is active, even with hardware mixing or dmix. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
At least, that's been my experience, and the arts kcontrol applet |
| 23 |
(kcmshell arts, or just find it in kcontrol) specifically mentions it DOES |
| 24 |
use exclusive mode, and that other things won't be able to use sound when |
| 25 |
it's active. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
Other sound daemons may or may not be equally "selfish". |
