[SOLVED]Dmix not working - Mumble and CS:GO competes for my soundcard.

Hey guys and girls.

I'm experiencing issues where either Mumble or CS:GO will hijack my soundcard and leave the other unable to access it. I've followed the wiki and added the configuration snippet. That didn't help.  I've got no idea as to why it won't work, but I'm guessing that one or the other accesses the card 'raw' which unables anything else to access it. Any ideas to what might fix it?

I think it easier for you guys to ask for the information you need to debug my issue, than me dumping a load of info which might not even be needed. So ask away and I'll give it to you.

Please help me,

UPDATE:
I just added the following to my .asoundrc:

pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "dmixer"
}

pcm.dmixer  {
        type dmix
        ipc_key 1024
        slave {
                pcm "hw:2,0"
                period_time 0
                period_size 1024
                buffer_size 4096
        }
        bindings {
                0 0
                1 1
        }
}

ctl.dmixer {
        type hw
        card 2
}

Which seems to work. I'll mark the post as solved, once I've confirmed it.
