    Just to clarify, this is a Linux only failure.

    Windows 2000/XP can easily handle many audio clients at once. You
    never get denied access to the audio device.

    I believe an application could request exclusive control, however, if
    this were needed.

    Linux has horrible audio integration into the OS.
