We went through this some time ago and I don't have the original thread. But there was way to edit .asoundrc in your home directory to use "dmix". Worked like a charm. I could play many apps all at one and all were mixed into one audio stream perfectly. Now an upgrade has wrecked that setting, I believe, and I'm looking all over for that email. My bad, as I have a pile of email folders where I cache the good stuff.
