i am not sure that *any* programs can handle this with two identical
cards. ALSA doesn't provide any way to identify <this> instance of a
Foobar-100 rather than <that> version of a Foobar-100. and ALSA
doesn't do it because a lot of hardware doesn't provide it either.

its normally just the name of the card.
