Hm.. Well.. Maybe the I810 sound driver or the hardware has problems with 
mixing. I have used a couple of different SiS build in sound cards and a Via 
build in card.

I have been able to start both amarok and kaffeine with sound working 
simultaneously using alsa directly and tested that system sounds works on top 
of that using arts with the alsa driver. It works fine for me.
