I second that.... AFAIK, the data are buffered to sound card up to certain size by the first player that plays song A....assume data from song B are queued next....thus, in this case, A sings...then B...or it could be heard mixed i.e we hear A + B. But if it's like playing song to PC speaker directly, then yes, timeslice do determine the playing interval. PS: PulseAudio etc could turn the table upside down...it's the sound daemon that take care of it... -- regards, Mulyadi Santosa Freelance Linux trainer and consultant blog: the-hydra.blogspot.com training: mulyaditraining.blogspot.com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
