Playing only one sound at the same time

[mortiis]

Hello,
i have the problem that i can play only one sound at the same time.

Ok, its not a real problem but it`s annoying that i have to close one application to hear the sound of the other application and it works pretty well in windows for years. I think it must work under linux too, somehow, but how!??

it works with "dmix", see there: http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin

you can search the forum too, but it's difficult to find something, since there are 2000 thread asking "why can i play only one sound at a time?" and there are only 20 or 30 explaining how it works.
