It's supported hardware mixing just fine on my live card for a long
time.  The recent changes resulted in much scratchier sound for me
when using applications that don't use a direct ALSA output.  (Sound
output from the proprietary Flash plugin, for example.)  It looks
to me like ainit is turning on dmix even for my card which supports
hardware mixing; I'd rather it didn't.
