It seems it has something to do with the face that alsa works on session. But still, I've dissabled Keep Audio Alive ... can't get this through
Starting mame outside kodi works without any problems.
Any ideeas ?
Are you using a digital output, like HDMI, to get the sound to your TV? In that case, you need to enable dmix on that device to allow two or more applications to use the device/sound card.
