Not one that works. I've played with it a bit, but even when I can get it to 
work, xmms hangs after 3-5 songs.

What I've done is put this in my .asoundrc:

# use this by specifying plug:mydmix
pcm.mydmix {
  type dmix
  ipc_key 4234    # must be unique for all dmix plugins!!!!
  slave {
    pcm "hw:0,0"
  }
}

Then in xmms' alsa configuration, specify a user-defined audio device 
"plug:mydmix" but, as I said, it doesn't work reliably.
