I keep seeing people say this, but I have never noticed any program
blocking the sound of any other. I can play sound from mplayer,
audaciuos, audacity, firefox, whatever, all at the same time, never
had pulseaudio installed, everything through alsa. What am I doing
wrong? :p

two possibilities: (a) you're on a distro that decided to try using ALSA's builtin mixing system ("dmix") (b) you have a really old soundcard that can mix in hardware.
