When I installed on my desktop mpd and mpc, I found that I can't hear other sources (like Amarok, Flash player etc.) at the time when mpc or other client is playing music. If I try to start an audio stream with two Flash players in two tabs, I have the same problem.
How to solve it?
I have installed PulseAudio with default system settings and Jackd. How do I configure it for multiple sound sources?
gigam@bird:~$ aplay -l

I'm using ALSA and PulseAudio as it was installed automatically.
P.S.
Hmmm… I have one additional error from PulseAudio:
pacmd:
>> load-module module-alsa-sink
Module load failed.
But in directory "/usr/lib/pulse-2.0/modules" I have it:
module-alsa-sink.so
