You can use the dmix plugin I have used it with xmms. There is documentation available on the .asoundrc page via the soundcard matrix at alsa-project.org. The jack plugin for xmms has been broken by recent jack cvs changes but the author is planning to get it working again when he has time. Also I second Ico's suggestion to use libjackasyn. -- Patrick Shirkey - Boost Hardware Ltd.
