I tried what was suggested in Frédéric's mail.
Unfortunately the second sound device only offers one playback channel, so 
it's not possible play several PCMs at once any more...
That's what the playback: 4 in
# cat /proc/asound/pcm
00-00: VIA 8235 : VIA 8235 : playback 4 : capture 1
00-01: VIA 8235 : VIA 8235 : playback 1 : capture 1
means then.
Isn't there any documentation on this?
I would really appreciate if someone could finally sort this trouble out 
since there are a lot of people who use a VIA8233+.

Thanks.
Gregor
