Just came across this, and from [1] it turns out the fix is
to remove the exclamation mark in front of the "defaults.pcm.card"
in the generated file.

So this bug would be quite quick and easy to fix, it turns out.

From [2]: The exclamation mark causes the parameter and all its
sub-parameters to be removed before it is created anew. (So don't ever
write something like "!pcm..." — this would presumably erase all
definitions in the pcm interface.)

So it's blowing away the contents of "defaults", which blows away the
default dmix configuration. The default dmix configuration uses
defaults.pcm to choose where to output, so the exclamation mark isn't
needed.
