I have a patch which sort of enables the non-modular sound driver to see
more than one card of each type. I say "sort of" because it relies on the
rest of the driver to behave and to hide card-specific variables in card-specific
data structures. I was able to get the driver to recognize and use one Crystal
4236 and two SoundBlaster 16 cards simultaneously, but your mileage may vary.

Mail me if you need the patch. And be prepared to futz with the non-documented
"sound=..." parameters to get your second SB to work.
