Re: Multiple accesses to /dev/dsp
i may be wrong but i think the esound daemon does this, not though in the
way you say.
i believe, apps send the output of the audio to the daemon and the daemon
opens /dev/dsp and outputs it there. any number of apps can talk to the
daemon and the daemon can/will output sound from multiple sources.
i've never used it just read bits about it, i could be wrong :)
