Yes, you'd need a separate audio card.

Lirc should handle that fine.

Mythweb should be fine - it's already designed to handle multiple frontends
and has no reason to care where they are.

By default the frontend settings are stored by hostname. That won't work if
you're running multiple frontends on the same host, but you can set a
specific identifier in the General Settings page. I assume there is an
argument to mythfrontend to tell it what identifier it should run as. If you
use anything that relies on the telnet interface to control the frontends
(such as the MythWeb remote app or MyMote for example) you'll have to modify
the "Network Remote Control Port" setting for one of the frontends.

I think I remember this coming up on the main list. It's probably worth
going through the archives.

Cheers,
Steve
