This triggers an ogg to play for each virtual desktop change using KDE's builtin sound notifications. Usually, when I scrolled very fast I would hear very many sounds all at once, but this wasn't the case. It would only play one sound at a time, ignoring the others. I was watching my process list in real time too, and ogg123 would not be invoked twice.
So after my modification it fixed the problem. This is on KDE 3.4. |
Thanks Caustiq for the additional information. I have added the "&"s to the script.

| This is not working that way for me- the sounds are all queued up, and continue serially until finished. Is there something extra required to get dmix to work than installing alsa? |

I myself have done nothing with dmix ... what was posted above is all that I have done to my system. What kind of sound card do you have? I have a Sound Blaster Live (not one of the newer ones though) .. perhaps I am being aided by hardware mixing?

| I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz card. It is driving me bonkers. When an album finishes, the backlog of system sounds can go on for a minute or more. I'd rather have it drop extra sounds than queue them! |

| Instead of this script I just just the program 'play' which is from the sox package and it handles mp3, wav, and ogg no problem. |
