Well, I *do* have two sound cards, but I happen to be using btaudio anyway.
However, in theory, you'd just configure mythbackend to record from one card
(the one you've connect to the line-out of your tuner card, say, /dev/dsp0)
and configure mythfrontend/mythmusic to output to the other (the one
connected to your TV/amplifier's audio-in, say, /dev/dsp1).  Should work
just fine, I think.
