I well remember SoundBlaster (16 ?) - it had a mixer in Windows. You are now confusing "a mixer" -- that part of a soundcard with the sliders and the switches and where you can mix in analog inputs -- and stream mixing in the sense of dmix. I was ofcourse talking about the latter and I can assure you your SB16 didn't do stream mixing.
