Why can't one run more than one dired-do-async-shell-command at the same
time?
Why not allow more than one?
shell-command: Shell command in progress
What if bash was also that way?
If it is a matter of what buffers it is writing to, then append their
names with <2> etc. or a process ID.
& runs the command dired-do-async-shell-command, which is an
interactive compiled Lisp function in `dired-aux.el'.
It is bound to &, <menu-bar> <operate> <async-command>.
(dired-do-async-shell-command COMMAND &optional ARG FILE-LIST)
Run a shell command COMMAND on the marked files asynchronously.
Like `dired-do-shell-command' but if COMMAND doesn't end in ampersand,
adds `* &' surrounded by whitespace and executes the command asynchronously.
The output appears in the buffer `*Async Shell Command*'.

We have planned to add an option to control the creation of multiple
output buffers for `async-shell-command'. The question is in its
default value. Maybe it should ask a question: "Create a new buffer?"
Or better would be to ask for a new buffer name:
Async shell buffer (default *Async shell*<2>):
like `C-u M-x shell RET' already does:
Shell buffer (default *shell*<2>):

All I know is the user might also have code like
$ grep -i shell .emacs
shell-command-default-error-buffer "shell-command-errors")
(shell-command-on-region
START END COMMAND t t shell-command-default-error-buffer t)
(add-hook 'shell-mode-hook
etc. as found in http://jidanni.org/comp/configuration/
So there are several buffers involved...

Processing of the new option will be added to `shell-command',
so it won't interfere with buffers as its input arguments.
