Basically what everyone else is saying, make sure you create an audio player for each source.

What you also must do is KEEP A STRONG REFERENCE TO ALL THE PLAYER OBJECTS.

If you don't do this they get released and playback stops.

I had this issue when I was only keeping a reference to the last source I wanted to play back. This meant that I would only hear the last data source and I thought the issue was something to do with the simultaneous playback configuration - but in reality it was just the other players were being dealloc'd and thus playback would stop.

 try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setCategory(AVAudioSession.Category.playback, options: .mixWithOthers)
            try? AVAudioSession.sharedInstance().setActive(true)

I also used the above snippet before creating and playing back my audio sources.
