The same is happening to me [OS 8.6 mol-4.7 kernel 2.2.15pre19] -
Sound is working much better with the "Sound" control panel [before
that, it would work - but very faintly - now I can get the Mac side
loud again] I had been assuming that the MOL had taken over the
sound - XMMS would not play at the same time MOL sound was working -
and you may recall that there is a *sound* associated with the
Gome-panel open/close sequence. so gnome-panel was stuck not being
able to open/close or do anything else until it could finish playing
its sound.
Once I closed MOL - I started hearing all those sounds that the gnome
wanted to make in quick sequence. So I guess the question is - now
that sound is working (*woohoo! wow! thank you!*) is there something
else we, the users, need to do to allow gnome to use its sound at the
same time as the MOL side is? [some gnome control panel setting or
something?]
thanks!
