It's very high-end technology but it is now possible. Interestingly enough 
my cousin was working on a project to separate individual signals from a mix 
a few years ago but this was for the military. I suppose the technology is 
gradually filtering its way down to us, especially given the massive 
increase in computing power since his team cracked the problem.

By the way, my cousin no longer works on that project but rather spends his 
time designing nuclear weapons and working on particle accelerators these 
days.
