I'm completely lost reading this thread.  I have a Plextor ConvertX. 
and use it with myth, it requires no sound card.  In fact in my
backend at home, when I had the convertx plugged into it (I'm on the
road now, and brough the convertx with me) has no sound card.  The
plextor recorded from a cable stream fine.  I would think you could
add multiple convertX boxes to a machine with no problem.  Each would
appear as a new /dev/videoX and /dev/dspX  and you can record away. 
Playback would work through your soundcard just like playing any
multimedia file.  Live tv worked fine through the plextor for me. 
I've used the plextor with .18, .18.1 and svn versions without a
problem.
