[gentoo-user] alsa and multiple sources of sound...

Hi,

I thought, alsa could handle multiple sources of sound
simultanously...

I was playing around witht he FAUST programming language (which is
a functional programming language for DSP kind of things).
From a input script this language compiles an executable, which
(beside other targets) speaks to alsa.

But:
For example when running blender (which connects to alsa) and 
the trying one of FAUST generated executables, the latter saus
"alsa error -16 : Device or resource busy".
For me it looks like alsa could not handle multiple sources
at the same time.

Is this dependant on a configuration "something" or is alsa
really limited that way or..?

Cheers!
