comment I have two computers with audio output, and I'd like to monitor both, simultaneously, with one set of speakers. What do I need?
What makes this solution not "clean"? I'm curious. Is there any chance of harm to my equipment?

comment Any reason not to convert WAV to FLAC and save some disk space?
@bzlm You're right - I just tried NTFS compression on a CD ripped to WAV and it didn't compress much at all, 669MB became 665MB. I'm surprised at that, but now I know.

You could get the best of both worlds by storing your WAVs on a filesystem that supports transparent compression, such as NTFS. They'll still look like WAVs to the rest of the world, but they'll not take up as much physical disk space.
