What's your soundcard? I think being able to open a sound device multiple times is dependent on if the hardware supports that. I can run jack and xmms (without the jack plugin) concurrently on my sb512.

I also tried opening it with jacklaunch but got no joy. :( Best regards, == Dave Phillips The Book Of Linux Music & Sound at http://www.nostarch.com/lms.htm The Linux Soundapps Site at http://linux-sound.org
