Running two instances of VLC (oss audio output error)

[shuaibe]

Hi,

Iam receiving two video streams through different interfaces on the same machine (ubuntu). The first video stream runs with no problem but the 2nd one gives the following error:

oss audio output error: cannot open audio device (/dev/dsp)

The video for the 2nd one runs fine but no audio. How can let the 2nd instance of VLC also use the audio device ? any suggestions ?

thank you for your time!
