I have to say that if I set something playing in Firefox and Audacity
(on CentOS, mind you, which also uses pulseaudio), both will play
simultaneously.
So my guess would be it's a configuration issue. Perhaps they're not
using pulseaudio, and are trying to use the hardware directly.
Yes, audacity offers the ability to set the use of either pulseaudio or
alsa. I have in the past dedicated a device to audacity by turning it
off for pulseaudio in pavucontrol and setting audacity to use it as
alsa. Works great. But mixing alsa and pulseaudio control of a device
is a recipe for problems.
