ImageThis forum is for Audacity on GNU/Linux.
Please state:
  • which version of Linux you are using,
  • the exact three-section version number of Audacity from Help menu > About Audacity,
  • whether you installed your distribution's release, PPA version, or compiled Audacity from source code.

Audacity 1.2.x and 1.3.x are obsolete and no longer supported. If you still have those versions, please upgrade (see https://www.audacityteam.org/download/).
The old forums for those versions are now closed, but you can still read the archives of the 1.2.x and 1.3.x forums.

That is 'usually' the case (virtually "always" for consumer level sound cards), though some high level sound cards are able to handle multiple streams without help from Pulse.

Do you know any named examples, in case someone really wants that? I presume we're talking about hardware mixing?

The RME Hamerfall soundcards have hardware mixing, though I've never used one under Linux.
If I remember correctly, the old SoundBlaster AWE (10k1 / 10k2), but these are long obsolete - I'll dig my old one out when I get time and see if I can get it going ;)
