I understand.

Let's see.  I'm not really an expert on sound cards any more, but it
looks like a lot of cards actually have capabilities for doing things
like this (particularly the fancy "surround" type systems).  I don't
think that it's at all standardized, though, so it wouldn't really be
practical to have the mixer(8) control handle it.

Personally, I'd probably spring for an extension cord.
