merging sound cards means either you can run both off the same clock, or one is 
being re-sampled. Some soundcards can run using external clocks ... so with 
appropriate cabling or settings very specific to your setup it is possible to 
avoid resampling ... but most merging-into-one will involve resampling, with or 
without advertising that this is the case, because it works well.
