Is it possible to run two distinct soundcards at the same time ?

[Douglas Hunter]

Hello,
I would like to pass 8khz festival .wav files to my pci soundcard (audio0
audioctl0), while at the same time not affecting the music I have playing
through my usb soundcard (a UA-5 on audio2 and audioctl2). I am using vlc to
play the music to my UA-5.

Is this an easy thing to achieve and if so how do I get there ?

both of my soundcards work fine when used as the sole soundcard for this pc.


thankyou

Douglas
