Sorry if this has been answered already, I looked for a while and couldn't find it. I've got XBMC all set up and everything works great, but I was wondering if there was an addon or a way that would let me listen to music on top of watching a video or playing roms/games through rom browser collection? Kinda like on an xbox 360, where you can pause and turn on some music and it mutes everything else?

There's no way to do that.
System: XBMC HTPC with HDMI WASAPI & AudioEngine - Denon AVR-3808CI - Denon DVD-5900 Universal Player - Denon DCM-27 CD-Changer
- Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray - X-Box 360 - Android tablet wireless remote - 7.1 Streem/Axiom/Velodyne Surround System
If I have been able to help feel free to add to my reputation +/- below - thanks!

So, what I've been thinking as a workaround to do this is to get a MP3 player (I'm using Foobar2000), and I'm going to see if I can't set a button on my remote to bring it to the front so I can just go from there, and then maybe the same button, maybe a different one, to minimize it after I've already made my selection. I'd really like to set a way for it to take precedence over all the other programs in terms of volume (ie it mutes everything else if it's making sound) but that may be a little beyond me. But attaching a mix view of all my applications to it may be another way.
I'm just setting up Foobar now, I haven't even began to screw around with mapping it to my remote or any of the mix/volume stuff. If anyone has any ideas on how to streamline this (I'm kind of just figuring out as I go and I bet there are people who know way more about this than me), that would be greatly appreciated so that I, or anyone else, as there seems to be a few people interested in this, can get this done. I'll keep posting what I learn here, if anyone wants me to. Just let me know.
