I don't know about other DJ applications. I just felt the need for it, so I coded it :)

Now the long story: I often DJ with others sharing an external mixer. In such situation I prefer to use the deck outputs to avoid having Mixxx crossfader in the way. But this weekend I (naively) tried to use a sampler, just to remember that it can't work in such a setup. I then realized that what I shortly expected was to have the "left side" output of Mixxx sent to the mixer instead of just deck 1. So I decided to code it :)

While coding this I saw that Mixxx now have 4 decks :) This feature would also allow to use deck 3&4 without having to take more than 2 channels on the external mixer. Again very nice when sharing an external mixer.

All in all I think this would be an extremely nice feature for external mixer users, needing only 2 channels but still allowing to fully use all decks.
