like i said... pulse won't multistream audio from different applications
simultaneously.
but alsa will.

i don't know the inside of pulseaudio, but i believe the problem described
by KenSentMe, which i also
experience here, lies not in alsa but in pulseaudio.

unfortunately, i believe, this bug here has more to do with totem and alsa
than with pulse, therefore we should
consider opening a new bug report for this.
