You can do that, but it has other disadvantages:
1. Usually if you plug into the headphone jack, TV speakers will be disabled therefore you have to plug/unplug when changing audio routing destination.
2. Viewing casual TV, we might want to settle for lower resolution audio through analog port, but if we watched a hidef movie, we usually want digital audio and other surround decoding methods that might only be available thru Spdif or optical outputs.
Right now, I'm using a Y splitter cable to feed both my external amplifer and the TV with analog output from the sound card.
