be aware, high inputs break those easily.
(mine broke twice)
so inexpensive stuff sometimes aren't that a good choice.
whatever, my opinion...

The audio will travel the path of least resistance unless you put a diode in there. The path of least resistance is not always the input jack. For example, if you tried this trick with say a pair of boom boxes and tried to Y the inputs together into your stereo's aux input you are likely to find the sound from boom box #1 comes out of boom box #2s speakers, meanwhile you are getting nothing in your aux input.

--edit

This cross talk also can potentially damage the circuits as well. Get a rectifying cable, or better, use a cheap audio mixer.
