I'm pretty new to unix so here is my first bug report.

I think I figured out the bug/problem:

WHen you open Konsole (herein known as console because my fingers are used to typing it) and try to play a sound in gaim for example, it does not play.  Neither does using the play command on the console.  However, when I use xmms, or Kabootle, it plays correctly.  I'm guessing this has to do with the "Autosuspend if idle for x seconds".  I am assuming that the console is taking ownership of /dev/audio and is also owned by KDE in some wierd way.  I dunno if this is a bug or a feature but either way, it is annoying since I can't hear sounds coming from gaim...;-)

Thanks guys!
