Aaaaaaaaah, now I get it.
OK, there is a way to set this up under Windows XP, I haven't found anything in Vista yet, although I've been activaly looking for it for 8 months, ans I can't speak for Linux etc. (chances are you're not running this Aspect thingamajig on Linux, am I right?)
Control Panel>Sounds and Audio Devices>Hardware tab>Properties>Properties tab(redundant but true)>Mixer Devices>Select sub-branch>Click on Properties(trust me)>Select "Do not use mixer features on this device".
This will cause the foreground application to monopolize your hardware and cut off whatever else is generating sound on the PC. I think we've got it now. Pls test and confirm that it works for ye.

Submission + - Cambridge's Streetlamp-Powered Wireless Network
Serpentegena writes: A joint research project by scientists at Harvard U and BBn Technologies may have spawned a new breed of Metronet. The wireless network, code-named CitySense, will consist of 100 streetlamp-mounted nodes by 2011, will draw power off the Cambridge, Mass. public grid and be used at first for weather and pollution monitoring. The intention is to also allow "academic researchers worldwide [...] to submit their own research programs to run on the network."
Sounds remarkably similar to the beginning of the ARPANET. Oh, and the network hosts will run Linux:)

Submission + - Intel Viiv vs. AMD LIVE!
Searching4Sasquatch writes: "Hot Hardware has tested two nearly identical HP systems in an effort to determine the best solution between Intel's Viiv and AMD's LIVE! campaigns. Priced around $999, these general purpose systems are tested straight out of the box with no tweaking or refinement to illustrate how "Joe Consumer" would fare in using one of these platforms. Although neither solution was perfect, there was a clearly superior option and it is not the platform you're probably thinking of."
