I'm just guessing, as I haven't used either application. I assume your using Gnome, and XMMS uses esd for sound? If not, continue on to the KDE description below. (I haven't used Gnome in quite a while, I believe it uses the esd sound server?) If that's the case, perhaps esd has your sound device locked. When you pause the CD, the sound server probably times out, allowing access to the sound device. You might try starting gaim with 'esddsp gaim' usr/bin/esddsp is a shell script that tries to reroute sound to the sound server, rather than the sound device. I do something similar under KDE with the arts sound server. Some (non-kde) things need to be started with 'artsdsp [application]' in order for sound to work reliably. Hope that helps, - -D - -- pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/pgpkey.txt - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iD8DBQE8P5EZeMAUbzJhSVcRAtRJAKCLMOJMAZsmIvUvQQ15INXay8UxugCdHB9y 4i9u44NiXCxY1VVQ5MkX4WM= =OneY -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
