I did that, and it seemed to work better. However the behavior of 
the apps is still erratic. The mplayer audio is not entirely
synchronized and xmms sometimes get it's audio garbled. "aoss mpg123 file.mp3" still 
compressed all the audio within a span of 10 seconds. 
I found some more information about my card here:

I've amended the dmixer config, it now looks like this:
slave {
    pcm "hw:1,0"
    period_time 0
    period_size 1114
    buffer_size 8912
    buffer_time 0
    rate 48000
}

As far as I can tell I am. I either running latest or close to
latest. Running debian unstable with alsa*-1.0.4-1 and linux-2.6.5.

I was initially going to blame all the strange behavior on the apps
(xmms/mplayer) but then I realized that all of them are dynamically
linked to libasound2. So I'm guessing that either alsa broken in someway
or my setup is borked.

I'll appreciate any help anyone can render. Thanks.
