hi, I have 2 box with gentoo, one at my home and other at work. well, the one of home have alsa drivers for sound and I used gnome as desktop for a while. I always was able to listen sound from a lot of softwares at same time and didn't needed to do any manual configuration to this. At my work machine I have installed gnome and some parts of kde but I preferer to use xfce instead. Since I've installed this system I never could get 2 or more softwares at the same time 'cause the second instance can't access dsp device. I did setup alsa correctly and even that never works. Some days ago I was installing skype at home and had to work with somethings about esd and arts. Coming to my job I did get a try to use start esd at shell prompt and suddenly I could run a lot of xmms instances and listen to all they at the same time.
Well, now I know that if I want to run 2 or more softwares at same time I have to use esd or arts but I don't want to start it manually all the time so I want to know if is there some place to setup arts,esd or even other sound daemon? tks in advice claudinei matos -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
