Please state what version of emul-linux-x86-soundlibs you are using. Is this still reproducable when you're not using the dmix plugin?
(In reply to comment #1) > Please state what version of emul-linux-x86-soundlibs you are using. Is this > still reproducable when you're not using the dmix plugin? I was using emul-linux-x86-soundlibs-2.2. Upgrading to emul-linux-x86-soundlibs-2.3 fixes the bug. Everything is now fine as I can have Mplayer and (for example) Xmms running at the same time.
