Note that we have actually the experimental dmix plugin (direct mixing) which works for i386 architecture in CVS. The usage is simple:
aplay -Dplug:dmix <filename>
You may pass 'plug:dmix' to any other application.
When I try this I get this error:
~$ aplay -D plug:dmix -f cd track_8.wav
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:371:(snd_pcm_hw_sw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SW_PARAMS failed: Invalid argument
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1378:(snd_pcm_dmix_initialize_slave) unable to install sw params
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:1534:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to initialize slave
aplay: main:479: audio open error: Invalid argument
Using the example for the .asoundrc file in the original dmix thread is the same.
~$ aplay -D dmix -f cd track_8.wav
ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:371:(snd_pcm_hw_sw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_SW_PARAMS failed: Invalid argument

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything I've ever done.
