No, dmix is neither a package, nor a binary, it's a part of the alsa
code. As of a certain version of alsa, I know alsa includes and uses
dmix by default. Before that version, I believe you had to apply dmix
as a patch to the alsa code. Unfortunately, I don't remember what the
version number was for this switch over. I do however recall Janina
posting that info a few times to this list, the last time being not too
long ago I believe, maybe even as part of this thread, or as  a part
of the advantages of a hardware synth thread. Sorry I can't be more
helpful.
