Yes, of course. Right now, support for multiple audio devices is one of the hottest features of PA. You might want to have a look on the screencast linked in this blog story of mine: http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/pa-097.html > Let's say I have regular boxes and an USB audio device (headset), will > PA grab them both?

I does so to make use of the devices as soon as they become available. You really should have a look on the screencast linked above.
