Hmmm. I don't know the specs for AGP, but it is an outgrowth of PCI, so
this may apply.
The PCI spec clearly, loudly and unequivocally states that all PCI
interrupt service routines must chain themselves. If this also applies to
AGP, and both of the cards in hand are compliant, then this should not be
a problem.
One way to test may be to move the soundcard to another slot. That may
have the BIOS assign it a different interrupt.
Then again, it may not. I did come across one BIOS that simply assigned
all the interrupts to the same interrupt. Yucch, ptui.
