Can I tunes support two sound cards?

I'm a DJ that has recently been converted to a MacPro. I know that I can guy an airport extreme and use that to play the music form itunes, and preview the songs through my computers speakers.

Can I use an external USB soundcard in the same way? Or can itunes only interface with the macbook internal soundcard and the airport extreme sound?

macbook pro 17, Mac OS X (10.4.8)

You can set your computer's sound output to the USB audio device but this will put every sound your computer makes to the same device, not just iTunes.

You might find useful the free utility SoundSource, available at Rogue Amoeba Freebies. It puts a menu in the right side of the menu bar allowing you to choose which sound device to use.

I have not used their Audio Highjack or Audio Highjack Pro. It seems to be for recording audio from an application. Perhaps it will allow you to redirect sound.
