With ALSA, you have to use hardware which supports hardware mixing
of PCM channels.
Examples include:
Yamaha Waveforce 192 XG
Yamaha Waveforce 192 Digital
Turtle Beach Santa Cruz
Trident 4DWave DX/NX
Creative Labs Soundblaster Live series
Cards with the Cirrus Logic CS46xx chipsets
See http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/ for a more complete
listing.
If you're willing to use the commercial OSS drivers, I believe
they include software mixer. This of course means higher CPU
utilization, but depending on your purposes, may work out quite
well.
