First I did not realize the lines to be inserted into /etc/asound.conf (or ~/.asoundrc) had "curved" quotes – had to change them into "straight" quotes to make the configuration work.

I wish there were a way have to have dmix take the capture (ie dnsoop plugin) information of a song played and change the rate of the dmix to match the song's native sample rate. This would be great as I could listen to 24bit 96khz vinyl encoded in flac in GMPC and then to a standard 16bit 44khz CD rip encoded in flac, all with crossfading provided by dmix and it's variable rate. I guess it's time to get a hardware mixing enabled sound card for that type of listening experience. ;) Yep, I have had this problem, and fixed it a while back by having MPD bypass dmix.
