Joe, I don't *need* multiple inputs on a soundcard. That's why I picked
the M-Audio 2496. I'll repeat, 90% of the music is coming from software
synths.

What I was primarily suggesting is using the computer as the mixer, bring
everything into the computer, mix it in there, then output it. Like I said,
I'm not sure if it'll work for you. I had simply assumed that since you
mentioned only a stereo pair, not the 4 input set of the 2496, that you were
attempting to make due with a consumer level, probably embedded sound card.

Since you already have a good card, why not just mix in the computer? It
won't cost you any extra money, and it will almost certainly be higher
quality than any $100 mixer.
