Package: kcontrol
Version: 2.0.1
Severity: normal


It is inappropriate to run two or more similar multimedia applications (sound \
related) for example, Kaiman, KMidi, KMid. Though they can be run together which \
instead of making melody makes noise. As we know we can run/listen to Wav, MP3 and \
MIDI, and Audio CD song/music files simultaneously but they should be allowed for \
games or for presentations and should not be generally allowed to run together (to \
avoid noise). So it would be great to have an option in KControl's Sound module, say, \
a check box called "Enable simultaneous play of music files". Normally it would be ok \
to play Wav (for system events) and one other type (say, midi, mp3 or audio cd). This \
option ("Enable simultaneous sounds of various type") will prevent in KDE.

Wanna try making noise using our favorite (audio)players? Here is the trick:

1. Open Audio CD player (insert an audio cd and play it)
2. Open kaiman (open /usr/share/sounds/KDE_startup.wav and choose repeat then click \
play) 3. Open KMidi (choose any midi and play)

Now when you have all these three audio players running simultaneously, what do you \
call this, music or chaos? So, KDE should prevent its user from making chaos. Thanks!
