Slightly off topic. Ok, you've got several computers at your desk.
One primary Linux desktop, one not-linux notebook, maybe one more. And a CD player/radio. Maybe an MP3 or Minidisk player. Notebook has crappy speakers, but that's the one used for listening to internet radio, etc.
Now, you could have 4 sets of powered speakers plus the CD player. Or you could find something to mix the 3 outputs together and run it to a single set of speakers. Or even use the AUX input on the CD player.
But what could one use to do that? Only thing I've come up with is this: http://www.music123.com/Rolls-MX42-RCA-Stereo-Mini-Mixer-i138112.music
and I'm not sure if that would work well with headset/speaker out level on multiple sound cards. It's just a set of jacks with 10K pots in them, so if each pot is cranked all the way up, there's basically no impedance between each sound card/device output.
I use one of these:

it's relativly cheap, ($75 list) quiet and makes adding and removing audio sources easy... I do have have 1/4 to rca adapters in most the the inputs.
