I'm running Fedora 11 with alsa (pulseaudio removed). When using Xine as my backend flash and speaker-test work at the same time, but amarok blocks both speaker-test and flash and speaker-test/flash both block amarok.

It seems like a conflict between KDE and non-KDE apps, but I'm not sure why... any ideas?

Oh, and gstreamer as my backend gives me no sound at all.

Are other KDE applications such as Dragon Player affected?
Also which version of Amarok is in use?
