The dmix PCM definition was slightly changed recently.  It no longer
takes SLAVE argument but CARD, DEV and SUBDEV.  For hw:0,0, it's like
	dmix:CARD=0,DEV=0,RATE=48000

The default card and device are both 0, and the default rate is 48000,
in the case above, you don't need to pass arguments.  Just run like

	% aplay -Dplug:dmix foo.wav
