Re: [xine-devel] Multiple instances of xine

[Darren V. H. <dv...@by...>]

In this setup you said you had only one audio port, I assume that means
that you only had one xine_t instance?  If so, how were you able to
pause music and still record TV?  My understanding from previous posts
(subject Multiple Streams), was that the metronum's scope was xine_t and
that pausing one stream would pause them all.  Has this changed, or did
I misunderstand the other posts?

Thanks,

Darren
