  Is it possible to use the Audio Line Out on the MacMini AND use a USB Audio device (iMic USB Audio Interface) connected to my home stereo at the same time?
  
  
  
  Can you have 2 Audio output devices on 1 machine?
  
  
  
  With Sound prefences, can I setup my Mac to play audio from Itunes through the USB Audio output? AND when I watch a DVD on my MacMini, can it play audio through the TV speakers? (I'm using a plasma TV with built in speakers as the display for my Mac Mini). Anyone know?
  

  
  

  
  
  just buy a $2 splitter from radio shack.

  I don't know about the USB device, but
  
  you could use the airport express
  
  to send iTunes to your stereo, and
  
  send the line output to your TV.
