If it's just simple stuff for playback/working with alsa, it might be possible to use another layer, like pulseaudio. For jack, I think there is a pretty sophisticated mixer available. I never used it myself, I think it is called jackmixer or something. I don't know what kind of chip it uses, maybe you can use a mixer app for other soundcards? (Envy24 control, ...)
