You can, but each app instance needs to have a unique name, as far as I can tell. I do run multiple copies of alsaplayer for test purposes, and have run multiple meterbridges. Both of these apps are capable of being started multiple times. I am not so far along with soft synths, but I think amSynth does allow it, and iiwusynth may, but I haven't tried.
