[linux-audio-user] Multiple Cards

Just a conceptual alsa question: I've been reading about setting up multiple soundcards in modules.conf/modprobe.conf, but most of the guides I've seen talk about setting up two different cards -- what if you wanted to set up two identical cards (like two delta 1010s, or two hdsp/multiface), will the names of the cards (like snd-hdsp) be exactly the same, and will it thus be difficult to set something like this up: alias snd-card-0 snd-hdsp alias sound-slot-0 snd-hdsp alias snd-card-1 snd-hdsp alias sound-slot-1 snd-hdsp or will it number them somehow? I haven't tried it at all, I'm just wondering for future applications how this would work. Thanks, Matt
