We're wanting to use one Debian box to play two different audio streams

streams going to two different sets of speakers located in two different
rooms).
I figure we'll need two sound cards, each driving its own set of speakers.
Since phone systems are mono, have you considered using the left and
right channels seperately for the audio sources? You might be able to
get by with some mixer software trickery to run L & R independently.
Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. It looks like Dave's idea will
work well for us.
I've started up two instances of xmms (had to go into
Options/Preferences/Options and turn on "Allow multiple instances", and
put one audio tune on one instance, and moved the balance all the way to
the Left, and then put another audio tune on the other instance, moving
it's balance all the way to the Right. Preliminary testing indicates
that this will work.
