I wasn't aware that this feature ever worked on Linux, at least on with pure ALSA (are you using Pulseaudio)? I stumbled upon this same issue a few days ago when I wanted to launch Chrome for watching YouTube videos. Now I have to resort to closing XBMC before I open the browser.
I think our only option is to wait until after Frodo has been released. Hopefully the AE devs have a few patches up their sleeves that can be included post-release.

Its well documented that you should NOT use github for bug reporting or discussing bugs, you were kicked to forums because of this and probably should have been referred to trac instead where bugs are supposed to be reported
This is documented in wiki and website.

Well not unless your working with a developer... I meant bug reporting is not accepted in github. If this is inaccurate please let me know what is accurate so I can update wiki documentation. As for website Someone else needs to do that then.

Because 9 out of 10 "bugs" users "found" are either fixed, misinterpreted, user error or dependent on plugins, script or skin.
Creating a ticket for each of them will drive us crazy. Preferred is to discuss "bugs" here first to see if it's a real problem and then create a trac ticket

I'm kind of glad to hear that this issue has critical status, it surely would be nice to get it working before the final version is released.

Just to weigh in - yes, we did release the ALSA device in earlier builds, but it was reported to cause issues for some as ALSA didn't like being started and stopped frequently. The issue was specific to ALSA - the other platform where we needed to release the device was the Windows WASAPI exclusive mode, and that platform is now fine.
TheUni and Davilla have both done some investigation on the Linux and Android platforms, but there isn't a good solution just yet.
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!
