I'm running FC3. I am wondering if it is possible for my computer to

play audio tracks, it says make sure no other program is blocking the
soundcard. I believe I am using Alsa for sound. Is there a simple way
to have programs all use the soundcard at the same time?
Have a look at the dmix alsa plugin. Haven't used FC3 for a while, but
I'm pretty sure that dmix is supplied with one of the alsa packages...

You need a software mixer. Check dmix, arts (for KDE), esd (for
gnome), I'm sure there are others. Or get a sound card with a hardware
mixer (best solution).
