This doesn't work on FreeBSD (some linux specific dlopening magic is what 
makes it work a

If the original poster is interested, here's how you do it (everyone else, 
this is FreeBSD specific, but something similar can probably be done on 
Linux, I just don't know the details on setting up multiple channels there):

ls /dev/dsp* 

If you get a list like this, and you probably will, most modern soundcards 
will be auto set up this way:

ls /dev/dsp*
/dev/dsp     /dev/dsp0.0  /dev/dsp0.2  /dev/dsp0    /dev/dsp0.1  /dev/dsp0.3 

If you only have dsp + dsp0, or possibly dsp0.0, you need to set it up by 
hand: 

put:
hw.snd.pcm0.vchans=4
hw.snd.maxautovchans=4

into /etc/sysctl.conf

In KControl tell arts to use /dev/dsp0.1
If you use esd, tell it to use /dev/dsp0.2 (just don't ask me how to do that, 
I don't use esd)
Apps like XMMS and others will continue to use the defaults ( /dev/dsp0 or 
/dev/dsp0.0 ) and you will still have /dev/dsp0.3 if you can come up with 
anything else that still clashes.

Happy noisemaking,
