Right, SBLive (emu10k based) has a built in 64ch mixer. I have heard other stories though that mention problems with similar situations, though the otherway around ;). E.g, if artsd is started it's impossible to start jackd. I have not researched the cause. Thinking about it, it could be that the different apps tries to open the device with different settings, samplingfrequency etc... I can imagine that the card does not allow this. /Robert > > 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
