Hi,

im having trouble with alsa using quake3 together with teamspeak on my 
soundblaster live. With oss/free this works though.

So, TeamSpeak is a voice-communication tool (www.teamspeak.org), which allows 
you to speak to a group of people while e.g. gaming. Since it is used so much 
with games, it is not unusuall to try and launch quake3 while TeamSpeak is 
running. The Problem is: quake cant load up if I try so, at "sound 
initialization" it hangs up. With the oss/kernel modules it workes fine 
(quake3 can open /dev/dsp although TeamSpeak has already done so)... The 
problem seems to be, that both try and open /dev/dsp for read AND write 
(TeamSpeak has to do so, of course, why quake does it this way i dont know).
Somewhere I read about /dev/adsp being a playback only device, so I thought I 
could force quake3 to use that, and have /dev/dsp for TeamSpeak. The Problem 
is: /dev/adsp doesnt seem to work at all, all programms I tell to use it 
(xmms, zinf, xine...) tell me my sound setup is broken, or /dev/adsp no such 
device (yes /dev/adsp exists).

Why does quake3 load fine with oss/free but not on alsa0.9 ?
Whats the matter with /dev/adsp ? Is there no such thing with snd-emu10k1 ?
How should I go about to fix this problem (without reverting to use oss/free) 
?

Thanks in advance
Peter
