Multiple streams of audio working with NO sound server!?

[Walter Francis <wally@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I updated my workstation a few days ago, and can't get artsd to run, so I 
have been stopping XMMS playing, etc, to play mplayer, etc..  Today I 
forgot, and much to my surprize, it worked.

In fact xmms, mpg123, mplayer, Unreal Tournament, and The Art of Sound will 
all happily play at the same time

No artsd, no esd..

How in the world is this possible?  Is this a (NICE) feature I missed about 
RH9, or?
