The problem is that it doesn't work like it should.... I have xmms alsa plugin set to 
default, xmms & madplay won't work concurrently, same with mplayer, etc... for 
example, with xmms playing, and executing madplay, madplay will simply wait for xmms 
to stop before starting.... mplayer and unreal tournament will complain about /dev/dsp 
being busy or some other error... xmms & aplay, mplayer & aplay, madplay & aplay, 
these will work together.  multiple xmms instances will work together also... perhaps 
this is a app config problem?  it is my understanding that all apps should use 
'default' by default naturally, but it doesn't seem to be working. If this is the 
case, can I safely remove everything from asoundrc except the default part and still 
have full functionality (playback/record, audacity is important also)?
