If you've ever shot in the studio you'll know that the whole idea is to control the light using the flash and to cut out the available light altogether, from what is being discussed here I get the impression that continuous lights are being considered to light the subject. This is not such a good idea. You start getting a mix of colour casts as you suggest, using a simple flash lighting setup will be a much better option.
This interests me. I've never used a DSLR other than to play with friends' cameras at parties. So I don't know what kinds of settings they have. But how do you white-balance the camera for a flash? All of the point-n-shoot cameras I've seen with manual white balance features don't fire off the flash when you hit the white balance menu option. So they can only be white balanced for available light, not for the flash. Do the DSLR's have an option for white balancing with the flash?
