VLC 3.0 is nowhere near release at this point in time. This is up to the 
Debian Multimedia team, not me, but I would not advise uploading it to 
unstable. And I do not know if there are enough human resources to maintain an 
extra VLC 3.0 in experimental.

Either those other apps are buggy, or dmix is buggy. The audio delay value 
should account for the dmix buffer.

Also, PulseAudio is better at mixing multiple apps.
