Yes, well, good for you.

Open up a second x screen on your TV. Play a totem movie
there. Now test your system sounds and try to play youtube in flash or
a bbc player item in iceweasel. Also try something like gnubiff to alert
you with audio of a new email and/or listen to amarok or a radio
stream. Does it all work together?
