Why can't apps share the sound device like other OS's can? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

To get around this, most audio applications today support working with a sound daemon such as jack, esound or pulseaudio, which takes audio data from various sources and mixes it together before passing it on to the device. But snack still doesn't have support for such a system, so it requires exclusive access to the audio device. I'll happily upgrade the snack package, if support for sound daemons gets added upstream. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
