The behavior depends on the name string passed to snd_pcm_open(). If you open the PCM with "default", the alsa-lib takes an approriate configuration for multi-playback and automatic conversions. But, if app opens with other strings like "hw" or "plughw", then it means that it's an exclusive access. dmix cannot be involved with that.
