Yes, using the dmix plugin provided by the alsa library. Use something like: # aplay -D dmix:SLAVE=\"hw:0,0\",RATE=44100 x.wav to play x.wav using aplay and the dmix plugin. You should be able to start multiple aplays at the same time. I don't know how good quality this produces, most people use JACK (http://jackit.sf.net/) instead. -- Tapio
