firefox and mscore
I'm just switching from Capella/Windows to musescore running under Ubuntu 9.04
I can run mscore without any furhter problem, but it occupies obviously the (onboard ) soundcard of my laptop.
So wenn I hear/see for Example some youtube Videos with "firefox" . mscore failed to start or I have to stop firefox at all and then mscore works well again.
After struggling around for more then a week , I supposed pulseaudio as the problem and decided to purge it.
ALSA was configured with dmix in my .asoundrc and an alias primary.
Then I was able to use Youtube and for example mplayer at the same time.
But when using mscore I had the same problem as before . First, it didnt except under I/O the Input and did not save it.
Even mscore -F changed to sometimes default and sometimes (when/why) to hw:0
After editing the ini_file under MuSe I could address the card also by the alias primary.
Nevertheless the card/device was blocked then for all other apllications.
I like to hear something in youtube (piano for example ) and notice some riffs in mscore the same time .
What have I to do or what did you or I wrong ?
Nevertheless I will continue to use mscore and are starting to make all my new score with musescore.
I like to have tools that live on different OS-Systems (I'm an aged SAP professionell , using UNIX and WindowsServer).
So please keep on developing your program.

Depending of the version of Musescore you are using, you might be able to choose Portaudio in Edit->Preferences/IO.
If you can, choose portaudio and try some device and api
Thank you for your fast reply.
The fault was mine, some more "tuning" of the .asoundrc did it.
I had to use type plug with default and type dmix with the slave.
Why I got different entries in I/O I can't understand and it's hard to reproduce.
Changed too much , when removing the last parts of pulseaudio.
At the moment all looks fine, thanks again.
It's a good feeling. that someone is reacting so fast , when one is in trouble.
