Google is you friend. Search for "how to configure alsa with multiple 
sound cards".

Meanwhile, here's what I did for my 64 Studio system (a Debian system) :

At the end of /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base I added these lines :

# set up card order
alias snd-card-0 snd-ice1712
options snd-ice1712 index=0
alias snd-card-1 snd-ens1370
options snd-ens1370 index=1
alias snd-card-2 snd-virmidi
options snd-virmidi index=2

Something similar might work for you. I'm not sure how you'll identify 
the separate SBLive cards.

Best,
