It's called hardware mixing and there is not much info availabel about
it. There are a few cards/devices with ALSA drivers theat have support
for hardware mixing. There are a few that have the capability but no
support because the manufacturers refuse to probvide the necessary
specifications.

Maybe not a field but a note. Lets call it [G] :)
