You can define quite more than only the old dmix behavior in
asoundrc ;)

Googleling "(snd_pcm_dmix_open) unable to create IPC shm" gives some
64bit related problems, but nothing really helpful.

Anyway, in 1.0.12 libasound2 configuration
(/usr/share/alsa/alsa.conf) was slightly modified. Could you please
stop all sound daemons (esd in your case?) and retry aplay or
whatever?
