Par, I haven't looked into the parts you mention. Basically
what you want is a "Four-quadrant multiplier". There are
a lot of ways to implement this; traditionally it was done
with a diode bridge where you weren't worried about perfect
results, such as when the output was going to be filtered
anyway. Note that you get both sum and difference
components, and at audio frequencies they are hard to
separate with filters alone.
