You'll need to start a sound server. When using KDE arts (which is a sound server) is started. arts puts all thos programs that want to use sound together. So one program doesn't have to wait for the other to finish.
You can start arts without using kde. just do "artsd &". Then use the play command "artsplay" for amsn. This will make amsn using arts instead of play, which i think is used by OSS. > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Maybe it's just a problem with 2 or more processes trying to get > access to the > /dev/dsp.
