Please note that ALSA dmix doesn't actually fork a daemon off anymore. Since quite a while actually.
ALSA dmix is a pretty nifty piece of engineering. It allows multiple programs to write data to the audio device hardware buffer simultaneously in a very elegant way. However, this design nonetheless limits the possibilities of it quite a bit. For example, doing stuff such as "glitch-free" directly in dmix would be very difficult.
