If so, I don't agree. Here's an example where I don't want anything to happen to current sound when another sound of the same nature begins: My son watches a cartoon on TV, the picture of which comes from the S-Video output of the PC (display :1 ); the sound is directed at the TV as well using sound card #2. Meanwhile, on the computer's screen (display :0 ), I watch a conference, the sound of which goes to the screen's integrated speakers through sound card #1. This setup is quite common with me. Even more often (but then roles are different I guess), the HiFi plays Deezer (good music) while the integrated speakers let me hear both the orator of the lengthy conference I'm attending, and the events' sounds of the little game I have alongside, for moments in the conference when there's nothing interesting being said. I definitely don't want any sound to ever be paused or stopped automatically. But then, maybe I'm not part of the normal users... Yves.
