First use the hardware mixing infrastructure for cards that support it 
and, after that, use a software based mixing. Right now, for my work day, 
I think that 32/64 channels are far from enough, but yes, there are 
people who actually need more than that. To solve that problem, I 
guess your idea of using the last channel for software mixing output 
is nice.
