Every ALSA aware application should be able to do that, as long
libasound has dmix support enabled. It's the default in resent Debian
versions of libasound (testing, unstable). However, as soon as an
application that uses OSS (the thing before ALSA) opens the sound
device, no other application can use the sound driver.
