the normal plugin uses the dvb card to do the sound output,
try to view a recording and play mp3 at the same time ;-)

if you have only one room, theere  may be no use ;-)
but what about transmitting the sound card output to a room you like,
without disturbing the tv viewer.
you can record movies and listen to mp3 at the same time.
maybe with timeshift this is possible right now, havent test it right now.

i had read a view mails over the weeks where  2 or 3 people ask for that
feature.
