Hi folks!

I've installed Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory recently, and on advice of some 
players, I installed TeamSpeak too. Both are Linux-binaries (since they are 
closed source) and working fine with linux-base-8.8. They are both installed 
from ports (so the binaries reside in /usr/local and /usr/X11R6 rather 
than /usr/compat/linux).

The fun of TeamSpeak is speaking with eachother. Part of the fun of ET is 
hearing the enemy coming / shooting etc. So ideally I want both to produce 
sound at the same time. Many FreeBSD-binaries do this (KDE soundsystem + XMMS 
for example) and it is no problem to add one of those progs to the que.

However, both at the same time does not work. /dev/dsp is then listed as 
in-use.

AFAIK, Linux binaries work almost like FreeBSD binaries on the same system, 
only there is a linux kernel in the FreeBSD kernel. I imagine that it should 
be that much of a hassle to let the linux progs behave the same, regarding to 
devices. So: is there a solution, and if yes: what is it?

I'm not on the list. A CC would be appreciated :)

Thanks, regards,

Fi-Ji
