On a related note - according to Alan Cox and some people - if you have 
an SBLive! soundcard and a recentish driver (its on CVS) you can have 
multiple files going on at once with esound. I'm not sure if this is only 
devel kernel possible or with both (2.2 and 2.3 - not 2.0)...

Anyhow, this is really cool and is involved with multiple open's being 
possible on /dev/dsp (or something like that) - It would be cool if 
esound could detect the SBLive! driver and the recentish drivers (via 
configure.in) and if it works, then don't do the 'manual mixing' but 
just do the multiple open's on the hardware (but use the manual mixing if 
you're gonna do network stuff).

then again - does esound even have a maintainer?
