So -- the fact that mixing actually works for you when using libaoss means software mixing is working correctly for your ALSA setup. The only thing you should do is _use_ ALSA (natively) and not its OSS emulation so you can drop the library preload.
Cool. How do I go about figuring out what every app uses? For example, you mentioned that the flash 9 plugin, which I also use, is an ALSA aware application. How do you know? I need the check out everything that I use which needs sound (vmware, skype, kmplayer, etc.) I don't have source code for at least two of those.

If can I join .. (again)
Heh =)

ALSA does not privide application mixer settings on application level. Some messages on skype forums suggests some workarouds in ~/.asoudrc but where is documentation for this part ?
You may want to read this one:

http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/doc-php/asoundrc.php

Anywhere are described ALSA diagnostics procedures/technics ?
