Created attachment 572660 [details] Emerge info I am using KDE (plasma-meta 5.14.5) with PulseAudio 12.2-r1, I am using profile 19 (17.0/desktop/plasma). The problem is that I can't play audio from multiple sources (Applications), if I play a video in Firefox for example and then try to play a sound file in VLC, I get the following error message: "The audio device "default" could not be used: Device or resource busy.". Same thing happens with other applications.

It is sad to read that you have problems with the software. The situation seems to be a bit more complicate and requires some analysis. We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3]. I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4]. Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.

Nor plasma profile?
