Doh I forgot to reply :)

I had 2 soundcards in my PC for a while, one connected to headphones and the
other my stereo. Don't think I had to do anything special and they
were accessed as /dev/dsp + /dev/mixer and the other /dev/dsp1 + /dev/mixer1.

Have you actually got both sound cards in the computer at the moment?

I don't think a HOWTO is necessary because I just plugged in the 2nd card and
RedHat was nice enough to autoconfigure it for me.
