playing your own music during gameplay?

Still Fresh
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.

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.
