That shouldn't be a problem with the Audigy ZS, at least it isn't with my Audigy2 soundblaster which is able to handle multiple audio streams. I have aRts running, and there's no problem listening to a live audio stream at the same time. This can't be said for the other machine that uses an Ensoniq card (ens1371 driver). this is not capable of multiple audio streams. It's a case here of one or the other. One hilarious side affect of this is listening to a live audio stream from Internet radio, then opening Gaim. 2 hrs later you shut down the Internet radio, and then receive all the sounds that Gaim has tried to send while you were IM'ing.
