OK that's what I thought, so I guess I can do without and not suffer any
consequences, thanks for the tip. I've kept it there because in a
previous config (with an older card) it needed it, iirc.

OK, I think I wasn't clear in my question, I'll reformulate a bit more
clearly. I've mentionned xcdroast + xmms here as an example that
happened. The thing is, whenever I used intensively my sound card and
another app came and tried to use it, it will succeed in playing the
sound it wanted, and then hang. I was wondering if I was missing
something or what...
Thanks !
