I think you are speaking about OSS here, not about alsa.
Alsa is able to play more than one soud/music at a time without problem: I
can perfectly play wesnoth with sound+music and have mpd running
background. (of course, I usually disable wesnoth's music, but not it's
sounds)

OSS is deprecated, alsa is the current successor.
