Controlling I/O
Hi guys,
Can anyone please tell me how I can control the I/O on my hardware devices in Suse Linux 8.1.
I find that everytime I am reading a CD, or copying from a CD, I am unable to listen to music of watch a movie.
Maybe this is intended to be like so, for the current high street technolgy does not yet allow real time file transfer and videao streaming.
I would be very gratfeull for any pointers here, and welcome any comments if my message was not clear enough
