Well... I do want some system sounds (at least a commandline player to
use from an instant messenger). And I want to use XMMS and Xine. Can
these be made to work with Jack?
I don't care for arts.

Does alsa
allow several programs to use one device, with soft mixing?
Not really. But Jack, which runs on top of Alsa, does. fluidsynth
supports JAck, as well as ither soft synths like amSynth and
ZynAddSubFx.
Give Jack a try.
BTW - You will want to turn off system sounds and things like the arts
sound server if you're going to use Alsa/Jack.
