Sound card in use problem

[naph]

Binary package hint: kaffeine

If I try to start kaffeine to play a video when I'm already playing sound with something like amarok, then the kaffeine window never appears and i get no error messages. i then have to open the process table to kill the process before stopping the sound and trying again.

reproduce:

1) play music with amarok
2) open a video file with kaffeine
3) kaffeine "dissapears"...

it's annoying that i can't play sound with more than one application at once, but shouldn't kaffeine atleast show some kind of error if it can't start playing the video?

thanks.
rod.

Hi naph,

Thank you for reporting this bug. Could you please tell us which version of kaffeine, amarok and xine you are using (i.e. dpkg -l amarok kaffeine libxine1). Maybe you could also post the output from kaffeine, when started in a console (use: kaffeine 'url-to-a-video-file/video.ogg')
