Well, I do not know if they lock /dev/dsp, but I can without any problems
fire up 2 xmms (with OSS driver) without soundwrapper and play 2 mp3s 
together (not very usefull though). But I can also play mp3s while playing
Return to castle wolfenstein. Actually I never had problems playing 
multiple music/sounds together. Always without arts or esd.
I understood that the emu10k1 has a hardware mixer that can handle 32 
streams. It works in both alsa and kernel driver.

Maybe the soundwrapper/arts stuff can be disabled if Harddrake detects a 
SBLIVE?
