Playing two streams at once on device "front:1" works: -
aplay -D front:1 filename.wav
aplay -D front:1 filename.wav
So, this is playing two files to the SB Audigy2 front speakers.
I can hear the two files being mixed together and output together to a single set of speakers.
Playing two streams at once on device "rear:1" fails: - aplay -D rear:1 filename.wav aplay -D rear:1 filename.wav So, this is trying to play two files to the SB Audigy2 rear speakers.
The first files comes out of the rear speakers, but the output from the second aplay command fails with: -
bash-2.05b# aplay -D rear:1 filename.wav

Can you explain why this might be happening?
