Perhaps the most obvious reason is so that they can avoid missing alerts
which pop up in the background (ranging from incoming IM bells to more
important things), which could be important but would be lost in the
existing flow of sound. (I know that when I'm running a random playlist
to accompany my general activity, I don't want to have to keep popping
back over to where I keep my open IM windows to see if a new message has
come in...)
Another possible reason, if less likely, is so that they can play two
audio files simultaenously; my brother used to like to do that to
compare downloaded audio files and see just how, if at all, they were
different, or for that matter just to hear the slight variations right
next to one another - it can be surprisingly entertaining.
> didn't you abandon windows for a reason?!?
Yes, I did (quite a number of them if I dig down far enough), but audio
mixing issues wasn't one of them.

my point was not the way it does mixing. my point is the whole
interface design of having apps make annoying sounds on your soundcard
constantly. the soundcard should be for playing music, movies,
simulations, games, research, etc. not to annoy you every time an
error or an instant message pops up.

Sometimes it *is* annoying, but sometimes it's helpful; as I indicated,
when I may receive an IM at any point but have no way of knowing when,
it can be nice to have the bell to let me know when it happens. If I
don't want to be interrupted by such sounds, I can easily turn them off.
I do agree with you in principle, I just differ somewhat in practice.

Hey,
> the soundcard should be for playing music, movies, simulations, games,
Playing games + using TeamSpeak. Requires mixing. Listening to music and
wanting to have SOME kind of audio notification of... whatever, the CD
burning being finished, a VoIP call coming in, etc etc. The point is
such things are very hard to set up on Linux while they work out of the
box on Windows. If you can't imagine why someone would need something
like that then it's just proof of poor imagination and not that users
are stupid and shouldn't require such things.

Hi all,
I've noticed a rather annoying problem with mplayer and/or the nVidia
closed-source driver. It seems that after I've played a few movies
(i.e. the xv overlay has been created and destroyed a number of times -
probably 15 to 20 times) it suddenly stops creating the overlay and all
I get is the blue window where the video should be. MPlayer doesn't
display any errors (its output is no different to when the overlay
works) so I was wondering whether anyone else had experienced this
problem? It's rather annoying and requires a complete reload of X11 to
fix (switching to text mode and back with Ctrl+Alt+F1 doesn't work.)
Thanks,
Adam.

Hello!
First of al, NVidia driver is open-source. You can run a package with
--extract-only
and get sources and also binaries for specific systems.
You may build it yourself, as you may like to do.
Read carefully ftp://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-7174/README.txt
and look what hardware issues correspond to your system.
Run xvinfo after you install new driver and update AS WRITTEN IN README
your XFree86 confguration.
If problem persists after downloading -7174 version of a driver,
post xvinfo output here.

Yes I have had the same problem.

I sometimes get it fixed without restarting X, but I don't know how.
When it stops working, I switch to use -vo gl2, but I think sometimes
when after I have forgot to give that parameter it works again with xv.
Also at least one time xv wasn't working and was just showing blue, I
had hanging mplayer on the background and "killall mplayer" fixed it.
I don't know why, but sometimes mplayer seems to stay background
although it has closed its window (and GUI).
> First of al, NVidia driver is open-source. You can run a package with
No it is not. "Open-source" is something else but "partly open source".
If Nvidia driver really would be open source, RivaTV driver developers
wouldn't have problems to get Video-IN working with nvidia binary
driver. Now there is, and Video-IN does not work in Nvidia cards with
nvidia drivers. Please avoid buying Nvidia cards.
> --extract-only
or -x. Please notice the files in usr/lib/. If you have source code for
those files, I am sure very many people would be thankful if you would
share them.
Part of the driver (which uses nvidia hardware) is in .so files, and those
are binary only.

I have had the problem with v7174 driver. When I have it next time, I'll
try to debug more.

Anyone else has the same problem with mplayer?
Also Totem fails to play it, but xine plays fine.
So it seems to be ffmpeg problem.

I didn't have any problem, but I use by default -mc 0.1
