ummm no dmix in alsa, do a google for dmix alsa
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024
slave {
pcm "hw:0,1"
format S32_LE
period_time 0
period_size 1024
# increased buffer_size
buffer_size 32768
rate 44100
}

this is a fragment of my /etc/asound.conf, notice the bindings option

Snow-white! Snow-white! O Lady clear!
O Queen beyond the Western Sea!
O Light to us that wander here
Amid the world of woven trees!
Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!
Clear are thy eyes and bright thy breath!
Snow-white! Snow-white! We sing to thee
In a far land beyond the Sea.
O stars that in the Sunless Year
With shining hand by her were sown,
In windy fields now bright and clear
We see you silver blossom blown!
O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!
We still remember, we who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees,
Thy starlight on the Western Seas.
