Of course.  The problem is the speakers, not the feedback itself.

When connecting some random speaker to some random amp, it is quite
possible to burn it out:

However, this should not happen inside a closed system where amp and
speakers were designed for each other.

In theory, it would be possible to do the mixing in the analog domain.
But there is no way to find out what the HDA codec actually does except
trying it out.
