    Greetings all,

    I have successfully installed Alsa after my weekend of hell with 0.9.7.
    I now have 0.9.6 installed, and everything seemed to work great until I
    had a chance to acutally use the system in a realistic situation.

    The problem is, with sound on in Sawfish (I realize this isn't desirable
    anyway), I can't start XMMS or RealPlayer. After crashing Sawfish,
    restarting, and finally abolishing all enabled sound options, I have
    audio again.

    However, if a program is using the device and a second app is started
    that wants to use the device the second app just crashes, at least until
    the device is free.

    I suspect that this is because the apps I am using are made for the OSS
    system rather than ALSA. Is this a correct assumption?

    Also, has anyone had experience using ALSA with pbbuttonsd?

    thanks
    `ryan
