I would use vchans to multiplex the sound card. Eg sysctl hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4 Then tell artsd to use /dev/dsp0.3 and your other programs will use /dev/dsp0 (which is linked to dsp0.0). If you have other 'long standing' sound apps (eg an mp3 player) you should tell them to use dsp0.2 etc.. (BTW 4 is just an arbitary number I pulled out of my hat) --- Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
