Hmm.. Doesn't the Playback X busses mix tracks? I mean, if I have two
stereo tracks and choose "Playback 2" on both of them, won't they be
mixed together on playback bus 2? If not, I think this should be the
case. :)

Which bus to render could later be choosen: the export dialog would ask
what bus to use, and even have the ability to export multiple busses
either to a single soundfile (if the fileformat supports more than 2
channels) or to multiple stereo/mono files. This would be very handy if
working with surround audio, for example... But for now, the export
could be hardcoded to use the first bus.
