Pulseaudio

I am a MOC nebie and I am loving it!

Is there a way to make MOC play friendly with other programs in Ubuntu 8.04? It steals all sound. If a program directly use alsa then no other program can be heard. How can MOC use pulseaudio?

I'm using MOC with ALSA on

I'm using MOC with ALSA on two different systems and have never encountered problems when using other audio-applications.
I guess there are some issues with your soundcard/ALSA-driver that should be resolved. If you really want pulseaudio you could try to set it up via JACK. I had a quick glance at the Pulseaudio documentation a few days ago for other reasons and it seems that JACK can be used as a bridge to Pulseaudio.

It depends on your soundcard

It depends on your soundcard and configuration. On my laptop there is a problem, my soundcard supports only one audio stream at a time, so there are problems. Solution is to configure dmix (transparent to application) or implement support for pulseaudio/arts etc. in moc.

Well, that was really helpful. Thanks a lot.

afaik MOC use only OSS, ALSA or Jack.
You need to write patch for MOC to use pulseaudio.
