This is a problem with the configuration of ALSA (the actual sound system) in 
your distro (or on your machine, if you've configured it manually). Please 
file a bug report with your distribution.

ALSA, vanilla and with the default configuration from upstream, should have 
support for mixing of multiple streams (either through hardware mixing, or 
software mixing (using the dmix plugin), set up automatically if your card 
doesn't support hardware mixing).

This is yet another reason I don't like PulseAudio (personally); people try to 
fix sound on Linux in the wrong place...
