Sound problems fixed???

[salmankhilji]

Using Gentoo 2004.2 which comes with GNOME 2.6.2 and kernel 2.6.8, I easily encountered problems where two programs could not access the sound card at teh same time.

Somewhere on this board, I found out that even Fedora Core 2 has the same problem and you have to edit asound.conf by hand to add entries to it to fix this problem.

I was wondering if FC3 will come preconfigured with such options so that the user does not have to do this by hand.

what sound problem where you having? hardware related obviously.

No, sadly it doesn't. I am not sure why :confused: Perhaps doing so would cause conflicts with ceratin drivers. Then again the developers are smart enough to just write a script to enable that for cards its know to work on and that don't have hardware mixing. Another question for the bugzilla.
