pasuspender will suspend access to the audio devices, fork a child process, and when the child process terminates, resume access again.

That means pasuspender nexuiz-linux-686-glx should work.

It should, but it doesn't, I can't figure out why.

Why is easy. Because .asoundrc routes sound through pulseaudio. If .asoundrc does that, pasuspender cannot work, as ALSA apps will contact the just suspended pulseaudio.

Try:

pasuspender nexuiz-linux-686-glx -sndpcm hw:0,0

This is supposed to emulate the old OSS drivers, I guess. It doesn't work, I still have the same problem.

Well, this WILL work: compile a current darkplaces version, and use that with pulseaudio and the ALSA wrapper. That will work for sure.

Don't want to do that since I'm seriuously running out of room on my Linux partition and right now I can't risk playing with partition manager, I need this laptop for work as well.

Any chance we might get the binaries any tme soon?

[divVerent]

Not before the next release, probably. But that could be soon.

How soon are we talking about? If it's a month or two, I'll simply wait.

Ok, but what exactly am I supposed to do with it?

[divVerent]

rename the darkplaces- executables to nexuiz- ones, and use them instead of nexuiz-linux-686-glx.
