[linux-audio-user] JACK of two Cards

Hey peeps,

So, I've been using jack with the onboard audio stuff in
my li'l cube (snd driver = snd-intel8x0) and that works.

And I've been recycling/parting-out older or broken systems
and found a PCI audio card with an ESS Maestro-1 chip, which
after some trial and error, discovered it needs to use the
'snd-es1968' snd driver (not snd-maestro3).

So I put the card in, reconfigured my audio, both cards are
seen, all the modules are loaded.  and then I go to start
'JACK' and... well, each *one* works (although there is a
different problem with the Maestro-1 I'll save for later)
it seems to let me use *either* one or the other but not
both.  What I really want is to be able to use the inputs
of both cards for multi-track recording.  Really, I'm just
trying to get the stereo keyboard separated from the stereo
vocals, that's all.  Seems like it should be no biggie,
but... not.

So, first off, is this possible?  I mean there *should* be
a way, right?  any clues for me before I go bangin' my head
on a wall? ;-)

Thanks in advance,
~Jos~
