Thx Paul, I'll have a look at it, see if I can find some sense in it.

MainLobby/MusicLobby and the J River Media Centre which again, works
through the single sound card and I have 2 MP3 'sources' feeding into
two Russound CAV6.6's (whole house amplifiers). I could add extra
sources if I wanted but I only need two + all the other stuff that
gets distributed (Sky HD, Sky+ for radio, DVD, XBMC). It's a pretty
comprehensive arrangement and works really well - but gets a bit more
expensive!
