Well, on my bog-standard VIA-based laptop (Slack 12, stock 2.6 kernel,
driver snd-via82xx), I just had three instances of mplayer playing
three different radio streams at once, two through ALSA and one
through OSS(-emu) and vice versa. I made sure my .asoundrc was out of
the way first, and it Just Worked. So perhaps the first thing to do is
bounce the .asoundrc out of the way and see if that changes anything?
