Is there some way to send a duplicate pre-volume-control version of the main signal to a different output device? This would be like the preview on a regular mixing board. It would let you listen to the song on headphones before bringing up the volume control for the main speakers. Among other things, this would let you treat two instances of foobar like two turntables. You could preview the next song on the phones and then fade between the two main signals. I'd only be running two-channel sound, if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
Drew
