Yep, but if I launch wolf after gnomemeeting wolf block to opening 
on /dev/dsp. And wolf before gnomemeeting, gnomemeeting says me that it can't 
open in full duplex ( I only hear my correspondant). So even ALSA doesn't 
use /dev/dsp it blocks  it (Why ?).  And I don't understand why gnomemeeting 
can't have it in full duplex when I could use arts... (juk, noatun) with 
that. /dev/snd is exclusif ?

LoL it's true... A other thing... before when launching gnomemeeting it 
launched "esd" too in previous Mandrake.... And if it's the esd magic what's 
going on ? Is it possible that be a card configuration (a SB live 1024!) ? 
half duplex or something like that (maybe it's very stupid meaning but I 
don't know) ??

Sorry for my english (I'am french) but I don't understand "idle"... just 
gnomemeeting running without communication ?... if it's that menaing... 
true.. It's only block new communication (and recording only).

Can I use ALSA and OSS emulation together ? And for curious I am running the 
same installation of wolfenstein between my new and old installation.

So I'am very curious to play as before and understand what it's taht trick ? 

;-) Thanks for helping me.
