Come to think of it: you might try switching the primary interface to your second
card, starting the replay and then switching the primary interface back to your
first card. This would, of course, show the menu at the very beginning of the replay,
but once you've switched back there should be no more disturbances on your second
card's output. Haven't tried that yet, but might be worth a shot.
