Per previous discussion on the list ("multiple soundcards") I don't care if
they get out of sync. Does the error mean that alsa won't let me do this
because they could get out of sync, or are you saying that the error is
irrelevant anyway because of the out of syncitude? If the former, what
workarounds are available? If the latter, how do I fix this?

Thanks!
