I have AC'97 (i8x0) Audio built into my MSI Microstar i845G motherboard, and
there isn't any hardware mixing going on, nor software for that matter.

In fact, the *pwing* *pwing* thing is happening again :-)

I just played an mp3 in xmms (using xmms-mp3) and was sending messages to
myself in GAIM to test, and not hearing the messages but then when xmms
stopped, i heard all the sounds for the messages.

I'm curious, since you also have an 8x0 audio, please run amixer on the shell
on your Shuttle board... I get the following:
