Multiple sources to one amp

I don't know if it's the right section, but that's the best I found.

Here's what I want: the sound of my PC and my PS3 through my headphones at the same time.

Here's my situation: I receive the audio from my PS3 to my wireless Pioneer SE-DHP800II headphones via the optic connection. But I would like to use Ventrilo at the same time on my PC (so I don't bother other PS3 users by speaking French).

Is there any simple way to receive both sources through my headphones wihouth loosing the Dolby sound of the PS3?

Thanks.

Re: Multiple sources to one amp

I think what you ask might be impossible to do cheaply.

You need to keep the multi-channel optical source and mix it with the output from your PC.

Is that correct ?

I'm not aware of anything that can do that except possibly the PC itself, but you'd have to feed S/PDIF or Optical in

to your PC, decode it and mix it internally ........

Possibly one of the External USB/Firewire sound cards could do this. But it might not be straight-forward and would

almost certainly be expensive.
