Yes, I meant that nothing has changed that would prevent other audio
applications from accessing the sound system.

I tested my GNOME 2.10 machine, and it does work with SDL audio output.
Unfortunately, my GNOME 2.12 machines do not have working soundcards.
Hopefully another GNOME 2.12 user can verify whether or not this works
for them to see if we really have a GNOME issue.
