Then just serialize the producers against each other or try to decouple more. In reality every communication can be modelled with a simple unidirectional pipe or set of pipes. The rest is just historic overdesign (trying to reduce memory consumption, "more than one queue is useless"-paradigm etc.) biting us now. And a pipe with single producer and a single consumer can be modelled with "lock less fifos" or "net channels", as Van Jacobson calls this.
