The snd-card-x entries tell Linux which driver to load when some
program tries to access /dev/dspX and there isn't yet a driver for
this device file. But the driver will then occpuy the first free sound
card entry, unless you explicitly tell it otherwise. So add these
lines:
options snd-ice1712 index=0
options snd-intel8x0 index=1
(or the other way round)

The device named "default" is used by ALSA applications, but Q3 uses
the OSS emulation.
