I still don't understand. If you add the instantaneous voltages of
two signals, you're mixing them, right? or what distinction am I
missing?
One possible issue: if you mix those two sines, you'll hear a single
sound, pitched at 400 Hz, with some second-harmonic content. You
won't hear them as separate sounds, unless you carefully listen for
separate partials.

You can add signals with a simple op-amp circuit. I'd suggest
Horowitz and Hill, but I don't know if that's available in Belgium.
