Public bug reported:
When playing sound from an application that uses libao on Ubuntu 12.04
(for example, pianobar), it blocks any other sound-playing application
from playing audio (for example, Firefox on YouTube). A little digging
showed that /etc/libao.conf sets default_driver=alsa, changing this to
default_driver=pulse makes simultaneous audio from multiple programs
work perfectly.
1) Ubuntu 12.04
2) libao-common 1.1.0-1ubuntu2
3) Expected audio to play from several apps simultaneously
4) Apps using libao block the sound card so that no one else can play sound
** Affects: libao (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Attachment added: "Output of lspci -vvv"

libao defaults to ALSA output, should probably use Pulseaudio
