Handling simoultaneous audio output streams on cards that don't mix audio in hardware is the job of dmix in alsa. Beginning with alsa 1.0.9, dmix is the default configuration. I would agree about keeping oss emmulation in alsa, as Adam says, for many years still. I don't know about zinf, but I can say I've stopped using it. mplayer is sufficient for me.
