Bug#540517: wesnoth: no sound when another app is using the soundcard

[Gerfried Fuchs]

	Hi!

 First of all, I see both your bugreports connected to the same issue so
I guess it would had been sufficient if you had filed a single
bugreport. :)

 Additional to the question Mark already asked I'd like to know if this
only happens to you with wesnoth or also with other applications using
sdl. Games that come to my mind are wormux, xmoto, widelands,
torus-trooper, pingus, lincity-ng, jumpnbump (rather small so should be
a convenient quick-test install), freecif-client-sdl, enigma,
crack-attack or supertux.

 I would be quite astonished that this should only affect wesnoth for
you.

 Thanks. :)
