The dmix plugin is installed by default.
$ aplay -L|grep dmix
dmix:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3
dmix:CARD=Generic,DEV=0
The dsnoop plugin is installed by default:
$ arecord -L|grep dsnoop
dsnoop:CARD=Generic,DEV=0
dsnoop:CARD=Generic,DEV=2
You configure them either in your systemwide /etc/asoundrc, or
your personal ~/.asoundrc
