Its an issue with the sound driver. Either get a better driver, or use a sound daemon. Common daemons are esd and artsd. Search for them on freshmeat.net

Red, is right.

Your soundcard's support isn't the best.

I have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz that I used the OSS drivers with. http://www.4front-tech.com

While those drivers were very good and enabled a lot of great features they still didn't handle multiple streams well.

You'll need to run something like artsd and spool the jobs off of it. Hardly an ideal solution. It'll work, but I wouldn't recommend it.

The best solution was to just buy an SB Audigy sound card. Of course, and SB Live! works just as well, for a linux box.

The kernel drivers are good enough to do what you want, but the sourceforge drivers are updated to reflect a few new additions.
