Even on the old one-thing-at-a-time sound system, you couldn't really do that. e.g. You'd start playing music, and at some stage an instant message would come in and try to ding. It couldn't, though. But, when your music player finished playing the next track, the instant messenger's ding would play (and often terribly). BUT, then the music player would fall silent, because it lost access to sound when it wanted to start playing the next track, and never recovered. Been there, done that. The only way to stop one thing interrupting another, is to turn off sound alerts in those other things, in the meantime. To do that system-wide, rather than per application, you need something that we don't have: An option for some program to "not be interrupted" much the same as we have options to "don't screen save while playing media files" in some media players (though I've seen that option in one or more players, I've never actually seen it work). So when you're playing music or video clips, that playing program asks everything else to *nicely* not interrupt. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
