Anyone get XMMS to work correctly with ALSA and dmix?

With just ALSA, it's fine, but as soon as I put in dmix, there are problems.

If there is no sound currently playing, XMMS will just freeze upon start
of playback.

Before, if there was a sound currently playing, XMMS would play the file
just fine with dmix. However, I screwed something up somehow, and now,
even if there is a sound playing, XMMS won't work right with dmix. It
will give all indications of playing the file, including the
visualization, but no sound will come out of the speakers.

Any ideas?
