I can't see any advantage to loading them into seperate instances of PD. Don't start PD twice.
The way I'm guessing things out:
If you start PD twice then the second one does not have accesss to sound devices.
If you start PD twice then the two processes can do things more independently. For example, if video is causing the audio to make clicks and pauses and such, then you should run the video patch in another process.
But then, audio has to be in the _first_ process you start because the sound driver is first come first served.
