OK, lets see, I have the shittiest sound card... Ive never
seen a card that cant play sounds from 2 different sources (IE: winamp & xm vs sf) at the same time until I got this crappy pc.

Anyways my point is a few minutes ago I tried to load
xmen but i had winamp paused and didnt remember to
shut it off(ive done this quite a few times, i thought i learned my lesson), so I dunno, i guess xmen was trying so #### hard to use my sound card my whole pc went into a hard drive crunching noise that would put capt krunch cerial to shame. I had to reboot the pc because my recourses where so depleted it took 10 mins to shutdown IE.

Anyways, im just curious if you could implement some sort of feature that checks if your sound card is in use and if it is it warns you before it continues to load or disables sound period.

Sorry for the long post, just trying to show how much fustration it put me through.
