Description
ScummVM 0.8.0a (Nov 2 2005 00:31:36) Features compiled in: Vorbis FLAC MP3 zLib MPEG2
When changing the sound output device via System Prefences while ScummVM is running, the music keeps playing on the original device. Sound effects and speech correctly get outputted via the newly selected device.
It seems to work correctly when manually changing the Music driver in ScummVM to Quicktime though (MacOSX 10.4.3, Quicktime 7.0.3, in case this is of significance).
This occurs with both Beneath A Steel Sky and Flight Of The Amazon Queen (and probably others, I didn't run across any while testing though).

thepnx, I only have one output device on my computer at this time. I have some code around that *might* fix this issue, but I need somebody to test it...
If you are willing to do this, please state so in a comment to this tracker item. Then I can make a test build of ScummVM available to you somewhere and you can tell me whether it helps or not :-).

Sure. Just drop a line to my sourceforge email address or contact me on freenode (nick pnx), whichever is more convenient ;).

Please try out this snapshot: <http://www.scummvm.org/downloads/ ScummVM-snapshot.dmg>
Note: This is a snapshot build, and as such may contain serious bugs. Also it may create savegames incompatible with older ScummVM versions!

Solution: Do not change the output device while playing a game :-).
I'll consider rewriting the CoreAudio driver to detect changes made to the system prefs, to cover this case, but it's a low priority.
