The idea is you'd use a PA mixer native to whatever environment you
want. Or simply pavucontrol, which gives you much the same stuff.

Well, I don't know, and don't want to sound too definite either way. I
_think_ that cards which are actually capable of mixing multiple inputs
present, to ALSA, a 'mixer' channel or something of the sort. I don't
know if that channel is available as an input in PA's UI, on such a
card. I really don't want to commit to anything down that line, as I
don't know enough to be sure.

Yeah, I think that's the idea. =)
