mpd and dmix: cannot play sounds with dmix and gaim/xmms

[btsht23]

hiho @all,

i am having a problem using mpd with the alsa plugin dmix. i can hear sounds from gaim while playing music with xmms, but i cannot hear any sounds from gaim while playing music with mpd...
do you know what i did wrong?

my /etc/asound.conf:

[artificio]

Have you tried using dev=default?
I don't know much about the actual mechanics, but at the end of this post I have my config files for a working dmix/mpd/player/etc... Hopefully that can help.
