Comment (by meden):

 I managed to deal correctly with ALSA and dmix disabling module-hal-detect
 and setting up thing manually as follow (in default.pa):

 {{{
 # Carica i moduli In/Out ALSA per la Audigy
 load-module module-alsa-sink device=front:CARD=Audigy,DEV=0
 sink_name=Audigy_Out_2.0
 load-module module-alsa-sink device=surround51:CARD=Audigy,DEV=0
 sink_name=Audigy_Out_5.1
 load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,0 source_name=Audigy_In
 #
 # Carica i moduli In/Out ALSA per la IntelHDA
 load-module module-alsa-sink device=front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
 sink_name=IntelHDA_Out
 load-module module-alsa-source device=hw:1,0 source_name=IntelHDA_In
 }}}

 Now, using ALSA device names, I can choose where redirect streams and the
 number of channel happily, without locking the hardware. And Skype works
 too.
 Hope that can help.
