This kind of solution has been there for more than 10 years and it's
called Open Sound System (OSS). OSS has kernel level mixing features that
permits multiple applications to use the same device at the same time (no
need to use esd or any other user land layers). And (in addition to Linux)
OSS is available for all Unix versions (Solaris, BSD, HP-UX and all
others). It's price is $0,00 for home and non profit users.

Best regards,

Hannu
