Right, I've tried it. It seems only one device at a time. I think I'll put
esd on it. Any chance empeg can put esd (enlightenment sound daemon) support
into the player? :-)

Here's what I did to get rsynth to work:

Cross compiled rsynth and sox on linux, transferred to empeg.
./say hello there paul -l hello # Puts output in file hello
./sox -s -w -r 8000 -t raw hello -r 44100 -c 2 baz.au # convert to empeg fmt
dd if=baz.au of=/dev/dsp bs=4608 # send to dsp in 4608 byte chunks
