Re: Mandrake 7.2 Sound Scheduling (cont.)



ALSA provides a full compatible OSS layer - which means you can use ALSA with 
OSS sounds. Also - you can find ALSA drivers for XMMS in xmms web site (if 
I'm not mistaken)...

As for Esound.. Don't hold your breath with it. It's practically dead. KDE 
uses arts and GNOME are moving to GStreamer - and for a good reason - Esounds 
take HUGE amounts of resources (specially when you play 2 sounds together)..
