Neither hardware supports mixing. Dmix (or PulseAudio) is enabled by default, but when you're using a device name like "hw" or "plughw" to access the other card, this is bypassed. In theory, "default:X" or "dmix:X" should work for any card. Did you redefine the "default" ALSA device? If not, do "aplay -D default:STX something.wav" and "mplayer -ao alsa:device=default=STX something.mp3" work?
