I understand sync issues, but I would think that the latency of the
output device would have more influence than not having the playback
device's clock synced to the input. I've never heard of a clock
drifting so badly that, for example, it took 3:05 to play back a
3:00 song. I can't imagine anyone's playing to be of such exactness
that the lack of sample-accurate playback sync would possibly be
noticed??? If you are overdubbing over drum tracks, can you
truthfully say that your note start times are within 1/48,000th of a
second??<br>

problem if the multiple devices were all input devices, such
as the "multiple Soundblasters" mentioned in a previous post,
but if there is a single device used for input, and another
device that is used strictly for listening, what problems can
be caused? I fail to see how it could cause a problem, even if
the clock on the monitor audio chain drifts.<br>

I should clarify. You didn't specify any kind of sync solution,
and not only recommended using two devices, but stated that it is
the normal way of doing things. Doing so without a sync solution
will result in unsynchronized clocks, which as far as I know, is
very much not the normal way of doing things.
