God I love XMMS because it this the only application with my KDE
system that is playing sound. What devices does XMMS operate off of,
/dev/dsp? if so how do I send other sound applications through the
same channel, ie, games, xine, xmovie, etc, I cant sound on any other
application expcept xmms, linux kernel 2.4.21, AMD1.7 Mandrake 9.1.,
KDE 3.1
