playing your own music during gameplay?

[lumines64]

i intend on pre-ordering a Pandora very soon no matter what, but i'd like to know if it allows users to mute in-game sounds/music so that you could play your own music instead during gameplay. I figure this might be possible if the Pandora uses multiple audio channels to transmit sound but don't know for sure. Thank you everyone in advance.

ED showed a video of the Pandora multitasking very well a while back, so you'd probably be able to do so with no troubles.

I played a music cd whilst playing this gameMy linkThe music played and all the game sounds could not be heard.My pandora is out of charge so i cant try other stuff at the moment like how music would play when using an emulator.

It's similar to a desktop PC, so if the game / emulator has a "mute" button, you could play music instead.


I don't know if they're using PulseAudio or something that allows you to change volume levels per application, but that would also be an option.


Edit: I think emulators will usually have an option to not even produce sound, which would mute it and also save some CPU time.

Played music whilst running strider on picodrive.Worked fine the music overided the game sounds and game music.

You can always disable sound on the emulators. I doubt it does this automatically, but with picodrive, there's a enable/disable sound toggle, and with mupen64, you can just disable the audio plugin, etc.

I think uae4all uses OSS for its audio, maybe. Anything that uses ALSA should just blend together automatically.
