If they use the same sample encoding and have the same number of channels
and use the same sample rate, then make one output sample the average
of the input samples, obviously. Doing the arithmetics might overflow
though, so you might want to convert to floats and do the arithmetics
there and then convert back to the sample encoding you want to play.
And if they do not use the same sample rate, you have resampling to do;
and if they do not use the same sample encoding, you need to convert;
and if they have different number of channels, you need to remix somehow.
