Right now I use pulseaudio on my laptop and desktop. Is there something

alsa dmix


Isn't dmix pretty much automatic in als these days? I suspect that's
how KDE supports multiple audio streams by default.

Yep, I think it's automatic since alsa 1.0.9 or so.


Yeah, when you wrote dmix the light turned on about how KDE (and I
suspect most desktop managers) is likely doing it.

GNOME uses PulseAudio by default, and since 3.0 is actually mandatory.
I believe Xfce uses PA also, and (please, tell me if I'm wrong) KDE
also by default uses PA.

Nope. KDE uses whatever is supported by the Phonon backend. The default is GStreamer, meaning that whatever GStreamer uses, KDE uses too.
