Hello list people

I am currently using bog standard OSS and gnome. when i run two audio
apps that talk to /dev/dsp they clash, i.e. the second app that launches
doesn't get any audio. if i install the alsa drivers+ oss emulation,
will this still be the case, i.e. can two apps talk to an alsa emulated
/dev/dsp device at the same time?

one app is xmms the other is the jsyn audio synthesis api for java. xmms
can run alsa native can't it? in that case will /dev/dsp be available
simultaneously? (jsyn is oss only)

i ask cos i'm developing a java audio app and i don't want to stop my
mp3 player every time i need to test the audio app!

cheers

matthew
