There have been no cards that can do hardware mixing under production for more than 15 years. This is delusional.
Also, the cards that could do that back in the day were, audio quality speaking, shite.
If that's really what you consider "the best audio linux has ever", I think you don't know audio on linux very well.
I will grant you one thing: if you did have one of those cards, it certainly made multiple applications all playing (same sample rate) audio at the same time as easy as it could be. But that's all.

I think you are mistaken. (And a bit rude.)
