Thanks Daniel for thinking through the issue and for making those different proposals. They all make sense, however I am just a beginner to DJing so I am not sure which one of them is most practical.

When thinking about these scenarios I came up with another possible solution quite close to your proposal (1). In this case we do not use the VMS2 for and sound signal processing, just for MIDI signal emission. I think this implicates maximum practical value:
- use Mixxx's mixing engine
- set master to a USB sound device different from those in the VMS2 (I have spare Behringer UCA202)
- attach amplifier to that Behringer UCA202
- set headphone to notebook's internal sound device, attach headphone right to the notebook
- don't worry about any "signal routing" issue with the VMS2, just use its MIDI signals for controlling Mixxx.

Does that sound reasonable, too?

A "disadvantage" with that approach would be that significant parts of the hardware within the VMS2 stay unused.
