Hello,

 I have a multiseat setup which is missing the separated sound feature, for 
that I've bought a usb sound card.
 now I have two cards, the O\B one and the usb one.

 both cards do work (tested them using mplayer) so I've went to devise a way to 
try and assign them, the best idea that I've cameup is to use .asoundrc so I 
created the following file:
 pcm.!default { type hw card 0 } ctl.!default { type hw card 0 } while testing 
I've discovered that if card is set to 0, I get this: MPlayer2 2.0-467-ga816810 
(C) 2000-2012 MPlayer Team Playing /mnt/storage/audio/Anastacia - Left Outside 
Alone.mp3. Detected file format: MPEG audio layer 2/3 (libavformat) [mp3 @
