bradcarter Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 I am having problems with a conflict with amsn and xmms. When I have a song playing and I recieve a message or someone signs in amsn locks up until I either pause the song or the song finishes and then I recieve all events at once. As in I was listening to unforgiven by Metallica and at the end it turns out I had a bunch of people messanging me and I recieved around 50+ sound events all at once. Quite an interesting effect. I do not have this problem with kde, though I have recently switched to fluxbox and now the problem has come up. I have tried running with and without soundwrapper on both amsn and xmms, same thing. I would switch back to Everybuddy but I need the file transfers from people I work with/for. I got tired of them telling me to switch to windows to use MSN when for the 100th time they tried to send me a file over msn and I did not know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest frew Posted October 11, 2002 Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 I use fb too and the only reason I would see a difference is that (I beleive) kde has it's own sound daemon. I use gaim so I have a bit of a different situation but if I were you I would look to see if there is a way to make sounds be console sounds and not wav files. I also have an alike problem when a flash page is in my browser, I have to stop the song (not pause, stop) and then I can view the flash or whatever, and then start it.

bradcarter Posted October 11, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2002 It uses the play command to make the sounds which I can change, I just dont know what to change it to. Is there another program I can use to play the sounds? And what is a consol sound? As a temporary mesure I can kill te sound entirely, I just get busy and miss messages all the time. Thsnks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradcarter Posted October 12, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 Found the solution I changed the command to esdplay instead of play which removed the conflict Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bvc Posted October 12, 2002 Report Share Posted October 12, 2002 If esd isn't running when you startup fb. Another option might be to put esd -nobeeps & in your ~/.xinitrc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
