The answer was already given, it's considered as too much effort to
provide support, to those who want to e.g produce music and at the
same time watch videos on YouTube. I wonder how those people use their
HiFi amps, when they want to listen to the tape recorder and the CP
player at the same time.

Please don't top post and use plain text only.

I don't know if this still works, I suspect at least gconf should read
dconf:

There are described other ways too:

Sharing ALSA might be a solution either:

http://alsa.opensrc.org/Dmix
http://www.brain-dump.org/blog/entry/45/Sound_mixing_with_the_ALSA_Dmix_plugin_instead_of_a_soundserver

I'm using jack and ALSA without mixing sources. If I make music, then I
make music and I don't watch YouTube etc. and I'm hostile to desktop
sounds, all I need is the bell (PC speaker, $ printf "\a"). I even
could live without the bell.
