ALSA can do this - or at least something like this. Your card supports
hardware mixing, it will use that, if not then you can use the dmix
plugin, by configuring /etc/asound.conf like this:


pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm dmixer
}
                                                                       =20
pcm.dmixer {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 1024 # This must be a unique IPC key (see ipcs output)
        ipc_key_add_uid true # UID will be added to IPC key
        slave {
                pcm "hw:0"
                period_time 0
                period_size 1024 # Must be power of 2 for alsa-oss
                buffer_size 8192 # ditto
                rate 44100
        }
}

pcm.dsp0 pcm.default
ctl.mixer0 "hw:0"
