Hello, I tried creating a new, mixed playback configuration by activating both Noteperformer and Sibelius Players. Then I noticed in the Mixer that the playback device for each staff has become unspecified. But when I clicked on a note, I hear it playbacked. Is this supposed to happen? Did Sibelius simply choose what it considers the best sound for each staff when the playback device for them is unspecified?

Yes, the Sibelius mixer is rubbish,

Sibelius - if it must work at all - chooses the nearest available sound in ths soundworld tree. This is not reflected in the mixer display until after you have pressed play for the first time.
