Jack handles multiple streams very well but it's difficult to use if you're not willing to invest a lot of time and not all apps support it. I've never used pulseaudio so I cannot speak to that personally. I also wonder what KDE is doing under the hood. I use multiple VMs all day long - both VMWare Player and Virtualbox. I get audio from both of those at the same time, as well as from Firefox or xine running native in Linux, so I'm doing multiple streams and mixing them in KDE all automatically. I've never studied how KDE does it, but empirically it certainly can do multiple streams. HTH, Mark
