Thanks for this information which i overlooked.

I got the problem and after doing the changes DMIX plugin is working very fine.
As you know XRUN was happening and this happening in snd_pcm_update_hw_ptr_post function.
This happened because stop_threshold is increased suddenly(Is it done by dmix? If yes then why ?) ??????
 In normal condtions this would have been fine but in my code i was multiplying it by some amount causing it to wrap around(stop_threshold=0 );Causing XRUN.So i just removed this multiplying factor.
 
One more Rate conversion query:
./alsa_aplay -v -D"plug:'dmix:RATE=44100'" bond.wav
Playing WAVE 'bond.wav' : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 11025 Hz, Mono
Plug PCM: Rate conversion PCM (44100, sformat=U8)
As you can see bond.wav is sampled at 11025k but when i am playing with Plug PCM there is some noise in the song why????Is rate conversion algoritm not able to resample it properly?
 
If i play with ./alsa_aplay -v -D"plug:'dmix:RATE=11025'" bond.wav then no noise.Probably because no resampling happening?
