No. What I want is sharing hardware - the sound card among several
users - i.e. I have several users logged in on a host. some of them use
the card - some play music, or keep it paused currently while another
tries to work w/ MIDI editor - like RoseGarden or LMMS.

Currently I do not use sharing of sound card that results in lockups -
app.s either waiting for hardware to be released or hang up my whole
system - I tried to run ardour2 while mplayer2 was playing a FLAC. -
Had to reset whole OS.
