The dmix plugin is installed by default.

$ aplay -L|grep dmix
dmix:CARD=HDMI,DEV=3
dmix:CARD=Generic,DEV=0

The dsnoop plugin is installed by default:
$ arecord -L|grep dsnoop
dsnoop:CARD=Generic,DEV=0
dsnoop:CARD=Generic,DEV=2

You configure them either in your systemwide /etc/asoundrc, or
your personal ~/.asoundrc
