In hardware, that is. ALSA normally provides mixing in software through dmix...

... but it doesn't work when emulating the old OSS (Open Sound System)
interface in the kernel, aoss emulates it in userspace, and that works with
dmix.
By the way, that's for Fedora releases up to Fedora 7. Fedora 8 normally uses
PulseAudio instead of dmix. There, you'd normally use padsp instead of aoss.
