two sound cards, keeping their HW number

[defred]

Great ! thanks for the tip, I believe it will more "stable" this way. I 
forgot to mention that I wanted both soundcards to work, so the "BIOS 
disabling" trick was a bit too radical for me. I'll see if it works in 
time, with various boot (but this linux thing is so powerfull that I 
rarely boot more then once in a day :D )
