Again thanks you for your answer. You have been of great help. Using
plughw instead of default seems to do the trick.
I have some more questions:
Is there a way to find out which soundcards support hardware mixing (and
have support for it implemented in their corresponding ALSA drivers)? Is

Not all that easily from the code. The ALSA soundcard matrix at:

Hi,
The snd_pcm_pause function of the ALSA API is not supported on all audio
hardware.
Is there an official list (e.g. on the web) of known sound hardware,
which supports this feature? Is there another way to determine whether a
certain hardware supports snd_pcm_pause without having to test

$ grep -rl SNDRV_PCM_INFO_PAUSE sound
sound/arm/pxa2xx-pcm.c
sound/arm/sa11xx-uda1341.c
sound/core/pcm_native.c
sound/drivers/vx/vx_pcm.c
Thanks for the hint, Clemens.
If I interpret this information correctly, then it seems that many
different sound drivers actually support pause, and consequently many
audio architectures have the functionality as well (or it is emulated by
the drivers). The real problem is the dmix plugin. In
