--- Comment #18 from Andrew Eikum <aeikum at codeweavers.com> ---
A patch like Andre's from comment 14 seems reasonable. Can someone test it?

Depending on the application, it can be a problem. Some applications expect to
be able to open the same device twice and will fail or be silent if it can't.
However, many applications only use one audio device, so it may not be a
problem for whatever applications you use.

I'd recommend finding a way around this limitation. For example, pulseaudio
might be supported on your platform.
