depends what you want to do with it.
if you just want to set levels, configure the card's options,
and patch inputs to outputs, try envy24control.
if you want a more full-featured mixer, I dunno...
qamixer might be useful: http://www.suse.de/~mana/kalsatools.html
ardour has a pretty nice /flexible mixer even if you don't record.
but that requires jackd and some configuration of inputs/outputs.
but if you just want a consistent mixing desk, once configured you could
save it as a session and load that when you want to mix.
note that you would probably use this in addition to envy24control.

Assignable with envy24control.

all you need is some audio sources that you can connect with
1/4" plugs ...
