Using dmix, I don't think you're going to keep AC3/DTS passthrough.
A couple of things:
1) I don't know how you get this to allow you to select anything in XBMC. It doesn't seem to allow the selection of anything outside of a few options... and added asound.conf devices don't seem to be selectable
2) I tried this with mplayer. Mplayer worked with it, but of course no AC3/DTS. The passthrough *played*, but it's just audio passed through digital output.
Again, I don't think this is really working for you, except that it plays now. And seems to work. EG AC3/DTS is lost, as least for me.
Thanks for the try though. It would be nice if XBMC just worked, like mplayer, xine, vlc, alsaplayer, etc do.
