(Solved) one sound application at a time

hello,archers! I moved from gnome to Kde(at last) and faced the issue. E.G if amarok plays musik there's no system notifications and smplayer plays no sound t.i only one programm can use alsa at a time. I have latest kde, alsa and gstreamer and xine backends for phonon. alsamixer shows everything's ok. What should  I do? thnx.

Try disabling alsa's oss emulation by unloading and blacklisting the relevant kernel modules, and by making sure all your sound apps are configured to use alsa, not oss.

Show usage:

fuser -v /dev/snd/* /dev/dsp* 2>/dev/null

Ok. I've been able to solve the problem by creating /home/user/.asoundrc file with this content
pcm.softvolPhonon {           
    type softvol             
    slave.pcm "default:CARD=0"
    control {                 
        name "Phonon"         
        card 0               
    }                         
    min_dB -51.0             
    max_dB 0.0               
    resolution 100           
    hint {                   
        show on               
        description "My Soundcard with extra Volume Control"
    }                                                       
}
Then I just choose Phonon as the mail output in sound preferences. Solved.
