Pretty sure that particular issue came out over ten years ago. That doesn't quite jive with my experience with apps some apps managing to take exclusive control over sound devices. In particular, if, e.g. Flash were run under Firefox before WINE or PulseAudio, then the latter two didn't get to play.* * Yes, I know (and have used) the solutions to these kinds of problems when using PA. That's beside the point. -- :wq
