To do this you need to use sysctl and set hw.snd.pcm.vchan and hw.snd.maxautovchans. I have mine set to four. So I have 4 channels for audio. Then you can use KDE control panel to set Sound I/O to use a custom sound device. Set it to /dev/dsp0.1 and KDE sounds will go through this device, leaving XMMS to have it's own device. -- Rod @ Home So No Cool Signature http://opensourcebeef.bsd.st _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
