David,
This was quite interesting. I do have a question. Since I've never used
two sound cards. Wouldn't this also mean that you'd need two pairs of
speakers?
If you're sending one thing through one card, and something different
through another. It would seem to me that you would have to plug speakers
into the audio output of each card to hear that card. Or am I totally wrong
with this. Jack
