Alsa does hardware mixing with cards that in fact support hardware
mixing, and for those that don't support it you'll need to set up the
DMIX plugin. See attached .asoundrc for an example of this.

More info here 
http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin
   
and here

The issue of sound has been brought up before, and I can only reiterate
my request for a default setup that /just works/.
