 XO-1.75 and XO-4 don't have ALSA dmix activated. This means that only one
 app can play a sound (or otherwise claim the sound device) at the same
 time. On XO-1 and XO-1.5, dmix is activated, and this is the better
 experience.

 The right way to fix this is for alsa-lib to detect that dmix is needed.
 Last time I looked at this, figuring out how the rules work here was not
 trivial.
