Linux "Desktop Linux is almost soup. We only have a few items left on the short list. Will we do it? If history is an indicator, the answer is yes." Read this article at LXer. Read more for a short list of my personal needs before I could say "yes, I can switch to Linux or FreeBSD full time".

> Which isn't the worst of it; the worst bit is XMMS refusing to play because something is "blocking" the sound card.

Email me personally, and I can guide you how to create the Dmix plugin and make XMMS, Mplayer, and all ESD and Gstreamer apps to work together. This dmix plugin should fix about 60% of all sound apps on Unix through its mixer, but don't expect ALL of them to work. However, I can help out with the most used apps, so please email me and I will guide you.
