Yep, ESD does this, as well as kde's artsd. Although, afaik some sound cards
support hardware multiplexing, much better than software one. (esd does some
ugly things).

jmcneill has told me about the devvp branch, which should "solve" the probl=
em
of opening the same device several times. Although, we would need software
multiplexing in audio(4).

Thanks though.
