You have to actually open the preferences GUI for XMMS, and tell it to use the same sound sound daemon that your desktop is currently using (esd, if you're using gnome). For a longer description of the problem, it is basically that XMMS is locking the card to a single input, and the sound daemon has to wait until it's free. There are numerous FAQ's and such about sound daemon's in linux (and why they all suck, but suck slightly less than listening to one sound at time). 2) I have no idea what the name of the rpm would be, but you're missing a plug in for XMMS to play ogg's, presumably. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | laser, n.: Failed death ray. | | steve@lobefin.net | | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
