Oh crap. It does too.  :(

No mixing. A jack may be the only option (or have both options) but this 
adds cost and work.

This is only a problem if we want joysticks as well. But it still means 
only 1 sound source at a time.
===========================
I'd like to say I remembered all that which is why I mentioned an output jack, but I can't! I vaguely recalled some programming overhead required for sound, but no clue as to why. You guys are the REAL programmers, I just played at it, and only text based stuff back when I did. Played a little sound bit I found at the beginning of a program, but nothing else going on for that 2-3 seconds.Never did learn graphics programming.
