Multiple consumers of /dev/dsp

[Josef Karthauser]

In the past I'm sure that we supported the mixing of audio in the kernel
so that multiple applications could open /dev/dsp at the same time.  Was
this a function of the audio card driver, or of the audio subsystem?
Currently on my new machine I don't get any mixing, and applications
fail to open /dev/dsp if it's already open by something.

The current hardware is:

    FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
    Installed devices:
    pcm0: <Intel ICH4 (82801DB)> at io 0xee00, 0xe000 irq 9 bufsz 16384 kld
    snd_ich (1p/1r/0v channels duplex default)

Am I imagining that this use to the case or isn't it enabled by default?
