This sounds like you have two dmix-devices, one called "dmix" and the other is the "default" device, that aplay is using when you don't specify a different one. Current version of ALSA don't require you to do any definitions for getting dmix to work, the "default" device already is dmix'ed and dsnoop'ed. I would suggest you remove your /etc/asound.conf and any ~/.asoundrc's and try again, this time using "mplayer -ao alsa:device=default" and "aplay whatever.wav".
