i personally think using dmix would be nice even for such "high-end" cards. but the smart dmix can still result in resampling or format conversion if the first and the second applications use different sample rates or formats. in the case of cheap soundcards, it's not a big problem because the quality is anyway cheap, too. however, in the case of high-end cards, people might not like that it happens. this decision, whether dmix as default is better or not, depends on users, not on us developers. the statement above simply shows this attitude.
