oss driver of good cards supporting hw mixing can do that - liek sb live

and teh commercial oss drivers (from 4front tech.) can do soft-mixing too...
anyway the free oss drivers of the kernel are very buggy and incomplete :(
i hope they will drop it soon and replace with alsa. alsa 0.9+ is very good.
(but old alsa 0.5 is even worse than kernel's oss...)
