Comment (by gjc):

 I'm not sure, but I think dmix does it in either software or hardware
 depending on your card's capabilities.

 Anyway, I'm pretty sure I didn't configure alsa for anything; in fact, I
 just checked, it has no configuration file at all (neither
 {{{~/.asound.conf}}} nor {{{/etc/asound.conf}}} exist).

 I normally have mixing with alsa (either hardware or software, I don't
 know).  For instance, I can listen to rhythmbox and play xmame with sounds
 at the same time.  Once I installed pulseaudio, at next login the
 pulseaudio daemon started running, and I no longer had sound in xmame.  So
 naturally I had to uninstall pulseaudio again.
