Enemy Territory and XMMS at the same time

[timothykaine]

Ive googled for it, and found on Linuxquestions you can run some games through arts along with XMMS at the same time, and itll sound like crap, but will work.

I tried this with Enemy Territory but when I try the command it just says et is not a binary.
"artsdsp -m et"

Apparently this works with some others, but I havent found a success story with ET.

Please help, I kill more when I can rock out at the same time. :)

(Edit: This is on the SuSE machine below.)

Still looking for a solution...

In the 2 et config files ( one in /usr/local/games/.... and the other in ~/.etwolf/.... ) change /dev/dsp to /dev/adsp

This will make ET use arts all the time anyway.

Sorry I don't have the exact paths/filenames, I'm at work and can't get to my home game machine via ssh...

Err... no, I don't think so. /dev/adsp is the "alternate" DSP device on the first sound card. Not the aRts device (aRts doesn't create a device, AFAIK it works either via sockets or pipes or something like that).

Using /dev/adsp won't conflict when other programs are using /dev/dsp, because they're different devices. So it might appear to work in some cases. However, you may also not get any sound at all (it depends on whether your sound card driver implements /dev/adsp and whether your sound card maps it to the same speakers, or just ignores it).
