Run kcontrol and switch to Sound and Multimedia, System Notifications (or |
| 13 |
run kcmshell kcmnotify, to get the specific applet directly), click the |
| 14 |
Player Settings button, then the Use an external player radiobutton in |
| 15 |
the resulting dialog. Enter or browse to the player you want to use, hit |
| 16 |
apply, and test the results. Note that you may have to play around with |
| 17 |
command line options such as volume and the like, for your selected |
| 18 |
player. |

Note that some applications open the sound devices in exclusive access |
| 21 |
(unshared) mode. Arts itself is a good example. If this happens, your |
| 22 |
sounds won't be able to play unless/until the device is free. Thus, it's |
| 23 |
possible you'll get only one sound stream at a time, unless you arrange |
| 24 |
for separate multiplexing. That can be done, but I'm not going to attempt |
| 25 |
an explanation in this message. In any case, having one thing play at a |
| 26 |
time is better than no sound at all! |
