Nothing prevents you from running multiple instances of sox, for example.
That's exactly what I want to do, but it seems it's not the way you say. I 'm trying to use multiple instances of sox to record the same source (LINE-IN) (just to different files). I'm not interested in multiple sound cards. I just want to record my LINE-IN with two sox processes but it seems sox will lock the device. I did the google thing and couldn't find anything.

Isn't this just a timing problem... where your 2nd execution of sox is starting before the first is finished??? If so, and the programs truely are back-to-back, a simple script to check if sox is already running and loop until it quits would do it. Would seem to me that carefully specifying the startup in cron jobs would also do it.
