I'm not quite sure to understand.... do you mean you can't play 2 sound at the same time? It's the usual behavior if your card doesn't have multiple channel (most onboard and cheap PCI cards?), however, you could "emulate" this using a threaded sound daemon (I use artsd but it's not the only one that support threading).
If you want to use 2 sound cards, you might need to configure your ALSA configuration file by hand (not that hard) I don't know how your distro (SimplyMEPIS 3.3 ?) support for dual soundcard is. You will also need to tell applications which sound card to use, otherwise they will always use the default.
