RB stops playing albums because of other sounds

	Hi everybody,

if this problem has been treated earlier, I apologise.
Couldn't find any
reference to it in Apr, Mar or Feb archives.

I often listen to music (using RB, of course) from my USB
headset while
I'm playing some games that produce sounds. Admittedly, many
of these
games are for the KDE environment (I installed both Gnome
and KDE but
use Gnome in general). 
If I'm not totally mistaken, some months ago RB was changed
_not_ to
react to sounds from other programs while RB was playing a
track. At
first I thought it was a great improvement because anything
wasn't
allowed to disturb musical enjoyment.
However, after realising that RB stopped playing further
tracks if a
game-produced sound happened to capture "the audio
channel" between
tracks. RB won't resume playing new tracks no matter what
buttons are
pressed - until some 30-40 seconds have passed. This is a
bit annoying,
so would you please reconsider allowing eg. game sounds
while RB is
playing music?
If needed, my box is a Fedora Core 6 64-bit system, RB is
version 0.9.8
and Gnome version is 2.16.3. 

Otherwise I think Rhythmbox is the best music player there
is in its
overall functionality and ease of use. Congratulations to
its developers
and translators (eg. impeccable Finnish, very rare)!

This is nothing to do with Rhythmbox. Something is blocking
your audio,
and it sounds like your hardware does not support mixing,
and you're not
using software mixing either.

What OS?
