XBMC Consuming sound device?
#1
Question 
Hello,

Since a couple of weeks i am a very happy user of XBMC-Live on an ION 330 platform. It works like a charm, but there is one thing i cannot get to work.

I whould like to start Stepmania-3.9 from XBMC, i have configured the launcher plugin to start stepmania, it can however not start, because XBMC keeps the sound devices busy:
00:00.440: ALSA error: pcm_hw.c:1325 snd_pcm_hw_open: open /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p failed (Device or resource busy)

This is not completely shocking and could have been expected, however now i search for a workaround, enabeling me to start stepmania from XBMC.

I hope somebody can help me with this, i have some linux experience and know how to work with the terminal.

(Forum admin, could you please move this thread to the linux/xbmc-live specific forum?)

Hi there, in the meanwhile i was still trying to solve the problem, and finaly found info on software mixing for alsa and that solved my problem. If you are having the same trouble's you can use the following sources to fix it:

Now i only need to fix the problem with "\ " getting XBMC out of focus when the program starts.
