The dmix plugin is installed by default. $ aplay -L|grep dmix dmix:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3 dmix:CARD=Generic,DEV=0 The dsnoop plugin is installed by default: $ arecord -L|grep dsnoop dsnoop:CARD=Generic,DEV=0 dsnoop:CARD=Generic,DEV=2 You configure them either in your systemwide /etc/asoundrc, or your personal ~/.asoundrc -dsr-
