Audio when PC is off !

[Skeleton Man]

Hi guys,

I have an MSI K9N-SLI mainboard and a studio tv terminator tuner card (the
audio from the tv card is connected to line in - it doesn't send it via the
PCI bus).

I leave my satelite box connected to the tv card, and whenever I turn off
the PC the (unamplified) audio from the tv tuner can be heard coming from my
speakers (even with the power cord removed). Is this normal behavior ? It's
only faint but it is audible..

On anther note, why does my tv card need to output the audio externally and
feed it in via line-in ? If it can send the video via the PCI-bus, why can't
it do the same with audio ?

Video is digital, audio is analouge.
