Running XMMS crashes GAIM?

I just installed BLAG 10000 (Very please by the way, especially with your addition of ndiswrapper so I could get my wireless stuff squared away right off the bat) and I'm having a problem with GAIM and XMMS running simultaneously.

GAIM works fine on it's own, XMMS works fine on it's own and seemingly with all the other stuff I normally use (Mozilla and what have you), but when I try to use XMMS and GAIM at the same time, GAIM always crashes. Anybody else have experience with this, or knows something I could do as a solution?

Thanks in advance!

Have you tried the new FC1 release? If not, what version are you using?

I've tried it with both the release that came with 10000 (0.76 was it?) and the Fedora 0.78. Both versions crash whenever I try to do anything with GAIM while XMMS is running.

Hmm. In 10000 for me I don't have any problems with xmms & gaim. Try turning off all sounds in gaim's preferences. I just have default settings.

that seems to do the trick. Also if I run them on seperate desktops (regardless of GAIM's sound settings) I notice they don't crash either, just GAIM doesn't make any sounds until I stop whatever song I'm playing in XMMS, when every sound that I've missed apparently plays back to back :)
