Think of the soundcards (analogue!) mixer as two mixers: one for playback and
one for recording. One snitch with the recording-mixer: while several level
controls for the various sources exist, most soundcards select one source and
only record from that one. So its less like a mixer and more ĺike a patchbay
with gain-control.
