It would be really neat if the installation scripts had an option to set 
up /etc/asound.conf to use dmix. A lot of people don't have hardware 
mixing, applications not being able to output ALSA sound due to some 
other application using it is definitely a FAQ on mailing lists. It also 
takes quite a lot of googling to find the dmix solution.

OK  :)

FYI.  The configuration program I mentioned earlier is now called 'asound=
conf'
and is included in the alsa-utils package.  Currently it is very skeletal=
.
