Many devices will not work properly if you parallel the two channels. This is what a two input one output adapter will do. With the two output devices in parallel they are trying to drive each other so they each need their own load. This is very easily accomplished by using a 100k ohm stereo volume control on the input of the amp. Each output device sees a load of 100k ohms and the two channels are summed from the wipers of the pot. RS sells a nice Alps 100k volume pot for a few bucks.
