It is very simple: just average all your samples values together (add
them and divide by the number of voices). This will make the sounds
quieter, so you may prefer to divide by some number less than the real
number of voices and then clamp if the result overflows the valid sample
range: this will introduce some distortion at extreme levels, but
improves the quality of the more normal central values.

btw. this question is really offtopic for a djgpp newsgroup...
