[Udo van den Heuvel]

Hello,

On my x86_64 Fedora 8 box I have the problem that dual soundsources
playing at the same time cause the blocking (hang) of one of them.

E.g.: start xmms to play an MP3 via alsa output; mail comes in and
Thunderbird needs to play a sound. This can not be done and the app
becomes unresponsive.

E.g.: Play sound with xmms and play test sound via system -> preferences
-> hardware -> sound. The config tool hangs.

What is wrong?
What do I need to check or change?

Kind regards,
Udo
