Having meddled some with this myself, and as Steve intimated, without
the availability and ability of word-clock syncing between whatever
cards being used in the multi card config, they drift at whatever
settings you use from Jack and it results in distortion, xruns and all
kinds of other nasties. I played with 2 identical SB Live 5.1's for some
time in hopes of getting the "cheap fix" only to find that the oldest
principle in life applies; You get what you pay for!"

Thanks Steve for your insight!
Hasn't there been some success stories in the past regarding this? I might
be obviously very wrong about this but I thought that if one designed a
meta-device in the asoundrc making two soundcards one multichannel
soundcard
and then invoking JACK on top of it, that it should work?
Please let me know so that I can make appropriate changes.

I'm not really happy about the bit about JACK saying "as well as
potentially multiple soundcards"... it seems unlikly to me that JACK
