ALSA sharing

[desertwind]

How can i share my soundcard between various applications, so that they can use it simultaneously ? Now rhythmbox often gives me error that the device is busy when some other applucations which use sound is started.

Check this (http://wiki2.archlinux.org/index.php/Allow%20multiple%20programs%20to%20play%20sound%20 at%20once) article, its for Arch Linux, but you can apply it other distributions too.

Thanks ujjwal, i too wanted it.
though in FreeBSD, this already works. It has OSS instead of ALSA in default install
