My soundcard is otherwise configured fine and plays sounds for most
things I've tried - mp3s, DVDs etc.
Any hints? Config below
You you running ALSA or OSS? What kernel are you running? Can you play
multiple streams at the same time?
I'm really not sure. I played around a bit more with XMMS and realised
that my problem is actually restricted to totem.
In XMMS I chose the 'eSound Output Plugin' and XMMS works fine now, and
in fact the sound driver mixes CD, XMMS and system noises perfectly.
In fact, when totem is having problems, then I just start XMMS and totem
will be OK again. So it's just totem.
And it seems that I am using neither ALSA nor OSS, according to the
output plugins in XMMS. Is that so? Where in my config do I check what
is going on? When I do lsmod |grep snd I get quite a few modules listed:
snd_intel8x0 33068 0
snd_ac97_codec 59268 1 snd_intel8x0
