The device does support hardware mixing. I can take inputs coming into the card and mix them directly with outputs coming from Alsa to create an output stream going to my monitors in real time with no latency with or without sending the inputs to Alsa for other uses.
I think almost every pro and consumer card supports mixing of external inputs with the sound stream from the PC. "Hardware mixing" in ALSA terminology refers to the mixing of multiple sound sources from the PC by the hardware. For example, mplayer output and system notification sounds. Lee
