I think there is a way to drive more than one sound card with ALSA ( and 
the 2.6 kernel), but I don't think it is either obvious or well 
documented. At least I haven't found anything at my level.

I ran into something similar with an experimental Fedora Core 2 install, 
which I "fixed" by disabling the onboard sound card via the bios. While 
mumbling around, I saw something in a file under the Documentation subdir 
of the kernel sources which indicated ALSA will support several sound 
cards at the same time, but there is an entry into /etc/modules.conf or 
/etc/modprobe.conf (forgetful here, sorry) to allow more than one card.

(aside) If anybody happens to run into a modestly idiot level set of 
instructions as to configuring ALSA to run multiple cards, I would 
appreciate it if you post a url or other pointer here. Thanks.
