There's an "audio passthrough" feature on my TODO list that would allow you to use the turntable directly while it's hooked up directly to your soundcard + running Mixxx. This would enable you to use vinyl control for a while and then say, throw on a real record and mix with that. I wouldn't get sold on features that haven't appeared in Mixxx yet though - Ben's suggestion of looking at a 4-channel mixer might be the best route to go in the meantime.
