[mythtv-users] Dual sound output from one card?

[Paul Leppert]

Is it possible to send audio output to both the spdif and analog
outputs of a soundblaster live! or audigy2 card via mythtv?

I am setting up my frontend to output video via the VGA output (to
drive my HDTV monitory) and svideo (to send to a modulator for the
whole house distribution).  I want to be able to do the same thing via
the audio as well.  For my main viewing, I want the digital output
(which I have today).  But for the signal that is sent to the
modulator, that needs to be analog.  I know I can switch between the
two (I haven't figured out yet how to get mythmusic to send a digital
audio, so I have to switch between analog and digital on my receiver
when I switch between mythtv and mythmusic), but can both be driven at
the same time?

If not, is this supported via dual sound cards?  In that case, if I
have a soundblaster card and integrated sound on the mobo (nvidia
nforce), can I just enable the mobo sound and go from there?  Any
pointers on how to make this happen (especially on an already working
system (with the SB))?

thanks,
phlepper
