Recording Audio via 2 sound cards?

Ok so what I want to do is simple and the idea seems easy enough to me. I have my SB Audigy and also my on-board sound. I know both are working because I use the Audigy for gaming and the onboard for watching and recording TV. Is there a way to go to a website - and have it play the music through my Audigy (which is the default) and record it with the onboard sound? Perhaps using a mini-to-mini cable from line out - microphone? I tried it once before with no luck so I was thinking perhaps I overlooked something. If this is not possible does anyone know of an easy way to record whatever your computer plays (ie the stream)
 
Sure you can. The quality would probably be better if you set the on-board to the default sound device and did the recording with the Audigy, though. You just patch the line-out on one to the line-in (or mic) on the other.

There are programs out there that can do it more simply, though. You should be able to directly capture what is going to the Windows mixer without it ever going analog. I know there is software to do this so you can simply re-encode DRM media. I assume there would be similar software that can capture any Windows sounds.
