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...

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 trywell I get a popping 
sound every once in a while when I load the modules.

So, things could be worse :P

You have to configure all those applications to use the default
device.  In theory, this should be the default (obviously :-) , but
it's often something like hw:0 or plughw:0.

Ah! Very cool. That works... I'm entertained by default not being the 
default. xmms tried to be smart and chose a specific device as its 
default...

Thanks!

Eeeek. Doing this adds a LOT of noise though... I'll have to play with 
the options in .asoundrc

Hmmm.
