Hi, Gregg: The RC in alsa file names stands for "Release Candidate." Typically, there are a few such release candidates issued prior to the release of a new version of some alsa technology. I don't recall precisely when dmix was introduced as a default technology in alsa-1.0.9, but you're using a pre-release version if you're on RC2. In fact, they went to RC4 before release, as I recall. The technology you're looking for is called dmix, and it's not well documented, as so much in alsa is not well documented. It should create a file called .asoundrc in your $HOME. I hope this is enough to google with. I'm sorry I don't have a more precise pointer for you.
