I am pretty sure being able to use dmix actually breaks things. Like all
the latency requirements you may have are now borked. Do you really want
a mainstream solution that breaks any and all use cases where that is
important? In addition I have at least one report of that setup not
working at all for someone like sound being hoppy.
Note I mentioned pipewire that is used both as pa and as jack, and if
someone tries to use jack he may have low latency requirements.
