two possibilities: (a) you're on a distro that decided to try using ALSA's

Just? Just routing all programs to alsa means
each or any blocks all
others.
One ends up with the mess that at least three
audio servers have been
tried
of which Pulse seems to be the one that has been
chosen
I keep seeing people say this, but I have never noticed any program
blocking the sound of any other. I can play sound from mplayer,
audaciuos, audacity, firefox, whatever, all at the same time, never
had pulseaudio installed, everything through alsa. What am I doing
wrong? :p
