So here's the deal.  I'm looking to buy a 5.1 setup.

The MAIN reason I want this is for movies, and to play music from my PC, and my guitar.

I want to be able to play music from my PC AND guitar at the same time (like back tracking).

Now I have an M-Audio Fast Track. It has two outputs (red/white).

How can I have both the audio from my PC, and from the M-Audio playing at the same time from the speakers? I assume the receiver from the package I linked above can only output one of the input signals at a time, and doesn't double as a mixer.  Do I need a mixer?  If so, will the mixer muddy the sound from my sound card, and M-audio?  If not, what do I need?
 
 
I just talked to a rep from Onkyo.  He didn't seem to have the slightest clue what I was talking about, nor was he of any help.  I can only imagine how much worse it would be if I actually went to a big box store and asked them in person.
