Just use the sound card configuration tool of your distribution to add
the second card.

... i.e., use any editor to put the following lines into your
/etc/modprobe.conf:

alias snd-card-0 snd-intel8x0
alias snd-card-1 snd-emu10k1
options snd-intel8x0 index=0
options snd-emu10k1 index=1

If your programs use the ALSA API, you can define the ALSA_CARD
environment variable to change the card for the "default" device.

If your programs use the old OSS API, you can make /dev/dsp a symlink to
point to either /dev/dsp0 or /dev/dsp1.
