many audio cards have more than one input. pretty sure most (all?)
people with a TV card will already have a sound card anyway.
and is it even possible to use more than one bktr card in a machine?

bktr has been in the FreeBSD tree for more than 8 years. in that time,
apparently no one has thought it worth the effort. I still think it's
a very marginal "better" with a lot of complicated processes involved.
