Right, SBLive (emu10k based) has a built in 64ch mixer.

I have heard other stories though that mention problems with similar 
situations, though the otherway around ;).
E.g, if artsd is started it's impossible to start jackd. I have not researched 
the cause.

Thinking about it, it could be that the different apps tries to open the 
device with different settings, samplingfrequency etc... I can imagine that 
the card does not allow this.
