I'm looking for an audio reciever that can play multiple audio sources through the same set of speakers simultaneously. So let's say I've got Optical IN coming from the PS2 and then I've got analog in coming from the computer, I want audio from the PS2 and the PC playing through the same speakers simultaneously and was wondering if this was possible or not. Also looking for a reciever that has like 5 component video inputs and possibly rack mountable. Maybe a reciever that has mixing capabilities of some sort? I want to be able to hear in game or what ever at full audio resolution while being able to overlay an analog or even possibly digital signal over it so I have at least two audio sources going at the same time, all outputting to the speakers.

I haven't seen receivers that'll do that. However, there are receivers that will play one program on the rear speakers and a second program on the remaining 5.1 speakers on a 7.1 equipped receiver. I've used that feature several times; gaming in 5.1 while listening to the radio.

That's probably your best bet, along with a component switch to get more component inputs for yourself since a receiver that has 5 component inputs is probably going to cost you quite a bit.
