Ok, good, sort of. It doesn't work here.

Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space: ICE1724 (hw:0,0)
Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space: ICE1724 IEC958 (hw:0,1)
Terratec Aureon 7.1-Space: ICE1724 Surround PCM (hw:0,2)
If it's supposed to work, let's test some things. I'll stop
pulseaudio and jackd, that is, free the sound card. Also
I'll remove my .asoundrc. The default device didn't
magically appear in the list. I'll restart lastfm. Ok, now
it's there. I'll play some music with mplayer and while it
plays I'll restart lastfm again. The default device is still
there and works, so dmix is working. Btw, I noticed a
difference in the console output, previously it used to
print this:
ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default:0
ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 1
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default:1
ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 0
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default:0
ALSA lib conf.c:3949:(snd_config_expand) Unknown parameters 1
ALSA lib pcm.c:2144:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM default:1
Now it prints:
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:864:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to open slave
I'll put the .asoundrc back. The default device is gone and
console output is back to what is was in the beginning. The
contents of my .asoundrc are the following:
pcm.!default {
type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
type pulse
}
I think that's as much information as I can come up with
right now.
