Ok, to double check, I restored alsa-lib-1.0.12.   Before doing that, I 
removed all dsnoop and dmix files from /etc/alsa/pcm.   After installing 
alsa-lib, rpm -Va alsa-lib output is empty.  I run two mplayers...  the 
second mplayer has no sound.

I revert back to alsa-lib-1.0.11 and try two mplayers.   This time both 
produce sound.   Again, before (re)-installing, I removed all dmix and 
dsnoop files from /etc/alsa/pcm.   This time, I notice that after 
installing it, rpm -Va alsa-lib shows:

S.5....T  c /etc/alsa/pcm/dmix.conf
S.5....T  c /etc/alsa/pcm/dsnoop.conf

Does the install script modify these files?   Perhaps something is wrong 
with that in the 1.0.12 version?

I have on-board Intel audio (ich5).
