Something like

But you would have to use two times the same soundcard. So two SBLives "could" 
work (assuming the nvidia is the onboard-sound) but syncing / soldering two 
different kinds of soundcards is asking for trouble...

But if you already have an sblive and simply want more hardware-ios, try to 
grab a LiveDrive from your dealer or from ebay. I got mine from ebay for <25€ 
some years ago and have now 6 analog-ios (in _and_ out) and another two 
digital ios (spdif and optical). The only step after that was the presonus 
firepod for more quality:-)
