This is half way possible. Festival can use NAS, which allows multiple
sounds to be played at once. I don't know of a mp3 player that can use NAS
though.

I have festival set up here to announce important incoming email. Sometimes
I will have 3 or 4 voices talking at once on my system, all mixed together.
