It really is no black magic, I am actually running such a configuration: [lofi@kiste]:0:~ > dmesg | grep pcm pcm0: port 0xc400-0xc403,0xc000-0xc003,0xbc00-0xbcff irq 10 at device 7.5 on pci0 pcm1: on csa > In most instances, the user just wants the adapter card anyway (else, > they would use the on board sound). I can really recommend running 'dual-headed' sound, all you need is a second pair of speakers or a small hardware mixer and you get two independent inputs/outputs, with independent mixers, which you can use for all sorts of nice things, especially if you cannot or do not want to run things like artsd or esound, but still want to, for example, hear notification bells from an instant messenger and listen to mp3s in xmms at the same time.
