3 different volume levels possible (pidgin, mplayer and the operating system itself)

[Mark]

Hey,

I'm attempting to have different sound levels for applications. so for
example let mplayer blast the sound out at 100%, pidgin at 75% and the
os itself also at 100%. I though dmix was the way to do this but i
can't seem to find any good "How To's" on doing this.

I did found this:
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/DmixPlugin#Getting_mplayer_to_work
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Mplayer_(Howto)

But both didn't work for me.
i'm running Fedora 7 and it's installed from the KDE Live CD (right
after fedora 7 was released). Currently i'm having alot programs
installed and even a few testing and F8 stuff but that shouldn't be a
problem. I am having normal sound here but just want to be able to
change the sound levels for individual programs instead of all at one.

I hope someone could help me with this,
Mark.
