my sound card is being shared now with other applications.
But still some applications which are not configured to use ALSA like RealPlayer have some issues.
I did following things:
1. installed gstream ALSA plugin
apt-get install gstreamer0.8-alsa
2. Run- /usr/bin/gstreamer-properties and changed input/output to ALSA
3. create /etc/asound.conf file and configure "dmixer".
#
# DMIX input device
#
pcm.!output {
type dmix
ipc_key 1234
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
buffer_size 8192
rate 48000
}
}
#
# DSNOOP output device
#
pcm.!input {
type dsnoop
ipc_key 1234
slave {
pcm "hw:0,0"
period_time 0
period_size 1024
rate 48000
}
}
#
# ASYM duplex device
#
pcm.!duplex {
type asym
playback.pcm "output"
capture.pcm "input"
}
#
# Make the duplex device default
#
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "duplex"
}
#
# OSS Compability
#
pcm.!dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "duplex"
}
ctl.!mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
4. for XMMS, I need to change preferences to use ALSA instead of OSS.

if I stop the application which is using the sound device and then other application can use the sound device...
its more like exclusive access to the sound device by ALSA....
even if there is a warning sound from Anti-virus program, sound device get locked and I can not play music anymore until
I close Anti-virus program.

If I understand ALSA correctly, you should not be using /dev/anything. ALSA
specifies devices differently, e.g. "hw:0,0" for card 0, device 0. If your
app is wanting to use /dev/dsp, it may not be set up to use ALSA. Either
configure it to use ALSA instead of OSS, or run the program with an ALSA
wrapper, like aoss (man aoss for help).
