What headphones do you use?
I think a lot of this is just a difference in workflow. I don't think I have ever intentionally had two programs playing sound at the same time. NoScript/RequestPolicy/Adblock essentially mute flashplugin-nonfree for me. The only places flash runs are places where I want the sound.
- darklajid 13y agoThe headphones do not matter, USB headphones were picked as examples because they're 'sound cards' usually. You could substitute 'moving from HDMI output to your speakers' or something. It's just about the ability of migrating running audio between devices, something I'm regularly doing. Sound at the same time: Happens regularly for me. I'm listening to music and some IM client runs. I could mute that client (in the client itself) or .. reduce the volume of that one application (in PA). NoScript and RequestPolicy were too much of a hassle to me in the past tbh. I regularly end up with a braindead/moronic website playing some random video. Muting flash while I look for the offending tab makes me a much saner person.
- dfc 13y agoWere the headphones a contrived example? I was just curious about the headphones and how they performed. Most of the usb headphones I have seen sounded like garbage. I really think a lot of it is workflow. When I thought about that AOL new IM noise I cringed. I like my bells to be visual.
- roberto 13y agoYou don't necessarily have to have two simultaneous sound sources. For example, if I want to connect a bluetooth headphone to listen to music, without PA I would need to edit my alsarc file and restart Firefox so it picks up the new sound card.
