p z oooo pointed me to dmix here:Hey, don't complain... at least you are getting sound. I can't get shit to come out of my speakers no matter what I try....well I get a popping sound every once in a while when I load the modules.
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
which seems to be exactly what I was looking for.
I've redefined the "default" device in my ~/.asoundrc and now if I use alsaplayer, more than one of them can play at the same time... yet I can't get anything else to share. For example I can't get alsaplayer and xmms to play at the same time... but xmms is using its libalsa plugin...
I'm confused... any help would be much appreciated...
So, things could be worse :P
