The device does support hardware mixing. I can take

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.
