Well, there are several such mixers available with suitable licenses. 

I wrote one myself back in the early 90’s. I recall it was a painful task that 
took several long days. It involved a lot of guessing and test probing my sound 
card I/O ports. It resulted in numerous system freezes, crashes and reboots. 
Once I worked it all out, I created a <6k command line mixer program and a 
separate (not used by the cmdln program) <1k program loadable/embeddable 
driver. 

Back when I made a bunch of my ancient pascal code publicly available, I put 
the sources and precompiled versions up on GitHub at 
https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7 <https://github.com/shidel/DustyTP7> . I 
still have a bunch of other things to put up there. However, I just haven’t had 
the time or motivation to figure out what unit versions go with what program 
sources and other such mundane things. My code repos were not as nicely 
organized back then. 

Anyhow, I just thought I’d mention the one I made back then. I suspect the BTTR 
version is probably better. After all, mine was made with a lot of "guess 
work", "trial and error” and has not been updated in roughly 3 decades.
