Did you try what is described here:
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php?company=Generic&card=Generic&chip=Generic&module=Generic#softmix
It may also be necesary I guess to run vmware each with an aoss in front
to tell it which alsa device to use (to use different virtual channels)
since I think vmware only supports OSS interface at this time. I
haven't checked that in a while though.
