If your application uses OSS and hits /dev/dsp directly then only one is possible at once. The solution is to use a sound server, ASLA, ESD, etc even artsd in kde. There are also wrapper scripts artsdsp for example that can wrap a false /dev/dsp and for an application and redirect through artsd or alsa (as applicable) transparently. Bare in mind that for embedded flashplayers, its firefox that needs the wrapping/directing to a sound server and i think the startup scripts (for firefox) on debian anyway allow this to happen. Other distros probably do similar things Robin
