Well my hope was to be able to mix different sources, for exemple to be
able to plug audio sources (audio player or output from another
computer) in both line-in of the cards and be able to mix it with
different output of player(s) (software) on this machine.

Mixing console (hardware) should be more simple to use :)

You're right: I have looked around alsa configuration but it seems to be
to hard for me to do what I would like to :)
