Good time of the day, Andrei. Thank You for Your time and answer.

No. What I want is sharing hardware - the sound card among several users - i.e. I have several users logged in on a host. some of them use the card - some play music, or keep it paused currently while another tries to work w/ MIDI editor - like RoseGarden or LMMS. Currently I do not use sharing of sound card that results in lockups - app.s either waiting for hardware to be released or hang up my whole system - I tried to run ardour2 while mplayer2 was playing a FLAC. - Had to reset whole OS.

In my experience dmix works fine in most cases, but you don't provide enough information to make a recommendation. If all you're looking for is a way for multiple users to control the same playlist you should look at mpd.
