I'm trying to configure my n900 to not interrupt video/audio playback when an incoming sms/im is received.

With the default media player, the standard notification is changed to a simple beep, which is played over the audio, and the pop-up is not shown, relying on the LED instead. For any other media player, though, I'm getting the normal notification sound, during which I miss 5 seconds of the video's audio track. The pop-ups also cause screen flickering and reduce the framerate.

Based on other threads/bug reports, I figured it might be related to the configuration of xpolicy.conf.

(see:

https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6694)

However, after creating a symbolic link for qmltube in /usr/bin and including an entry like so:

Code:
[stream]
exe = qmltube
group = player
...and rebooting, I found no difference.

I've tested with both qmltube and kmplayer watching both local media and youtube videos.

Does anyone know of a way to configure this, or have any advice regarding where to look or how to get the other players to behave like the default one?
