Does that work for you? I edited /etc/asound.conf and dmix seems to be
(transparently!) available for all apps that use alsa. I'll quote it here:

Don't understand much of the syntax though. Alsa is terrible regarding
configuration :( I'm using via82xx chip for sound. If you have a halfway
popular audiochip (or -card), you should find some working dmix configuration
somewhere in the net.
Good luck!
