This sounds like the event sound from Skype is tagged as "phone", and module-cork-music-on-phone (or module-role-cork if you're running PulseAudio 2.0) pauses Amarok for the duration of the sound... > Just now i've seen, that the same situation happens if the KDE Notfier gives > an Message. That one breaks the Amarok Sound too. ...but this sounds like something different. I'm not sure if Skype tags or in some version has tagged its event sounds as "phone" (it's a bug if it does that), but I'm pretty sure KDE Notifier doesn't tag its event sounds as "phone". The problem might be then flat-volume related instead. You can try commenting out module-cork-music-on-phone/module-role-cork in /etc/pulse/default.pa. If that helps, then it's a problem with Skype/KDE Notifier stream roles. If that doesn't help, you can try writing "flat-volumes = no" in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. -- Tanu
