Oh does it? How about adding some references to this claim? Might be
actually convincing then.
At least I couldn't find anything googling for 'HDA hardware-mixing'.
Nor could I find anything googling for 'HDA multi-analog'.
When you buy an Intel CPU do you expect it to say "Supports x86
instruction set"? The ability for a soundcard to accept multiple analog
inputs and output them all simultaneously to a single sink has been
standard for so long that any card that *can't* do it (assuming it has
multiple analog inputs) would be considered total garbage. You don't
have to tout something that is a basic, standard capability.
