Question:

I have the same/similar problem, but mine goes one step further. When 
sound events come in at the same time as say, another new sound event 
(such as XMMS starting to play an MP3 and GAIM sending in a message 
recieved sound), it completely locks up my computer. No more keyboard 
responsiveness. No more mouse responsiveness. Could this problem be 
solved by the above entries too? If so, that would really be a great 
thing as I have to keep GAIM silent and take chances when using XMMS 
(sometimes a mouse even and sound event starting at the same time is 
enough for the lock up).
