Now you're getting fancy :-)

Thanks Bruce

The fancy is what I want to avoid, as the initial idea was to simplify things - i.e. one speaker instead of four .

Well, the good news is all those bits (except volume controls with knobs) would cost less than $10 in total and fit on a board a maximum of a couple of square inches in size.

Heh. These days you could use a $2 ATtiny85 microcontroller in an 8 pin DIP package. 20 MHz CPU. 3 10 bit analog to digital inputs. Scale and add them digitally. Output a pulse-width modulated 1 bit signal at 50 KHz or so, low pass filter (i.e. a resistor and a capacitor), then to the amplifier.

OK, I'm being silly.
