I'm a bit confused by your "user story".  You have several computers
each with a soundcard that you want to send to a single speaker set,
is that it?

analog way: get a mixer.

digital way: assuming you're using linux...  I'd probably ditch the
soundcards and just output RAOP over the network to a dedicated device
for the speakers, such as an Airport Express or a LinkStation Pro with
a $15 USB-Audio adapter plugged in.
