The sound card is in use by the dmix/dsnoop plugin.
my "default" device is actually a chain of plugins, a striped down
version of my .asoundrc is (let me know if you want my full config)
pcm.output  {
    type dmix
    slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
}
pcm.input {
    type dsnoop
    slave.pcm "hw:0,0"
}
pcm.duplex {
    type asym
    playback.pcm "output"
    capture.pcm "input"
}
pcm.!default {
    type plug
    slave.pcm "duplex"
}
ctl.!default {
    type hw
    card 0
}

so default goes through asym, which joins dsnoop and dmix, which
then actually access my hardware.

This is a pretty common config for cards that do not support hardware
mixing, IMO.
