This was my experience too. PCI card and you can disable the motherboard
sound. USB card and you can't.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
I've discovered on my desktop that if I
disable the onboard audio (which I
don't use at all), ALSA doesn't load or start.
My multi-tracking audio card is pci so the system is seeing it before alsa
loads, that may not be the case with USB audio. In fact with a PCI sound
card, the bios may have to deal with it before the kernel ever sees the
system, so it is the same as an internal card.
