First of all, dmix, sound servers (esd and so on) are all used if your card can't do hardware mixing. If it can do hardware mixing, you don't need to use any software. But you already knew this, right? :-) I think dmix is configured by default in ALSA if your card can't do hardware mixing, but I could be wrong. > I'll check this also just to see what happens.
