Along with what was said earlier, the reason you probably can't use both
at the same time is due to your soundcard not allowing multiopen. I am
not sure if alsa has plans to do software mixing, that would be nice of
course, but most new hardware supports multiopen already. Even my cheap
onboard via sound has multiopen. :)
