If you want to do complicated things, you should be prepared to take responsibility for shouldering the burden of dealing with the issues that arise. And your throwaway example actually demonstrates this perfectly. The reason few people have multiple sound cards is that multiple sound cards are generally more trouble than they are worth. Sound cards have AD/DA converters which are synced to clocks. Unless the clocks of each card are synchronised to one another, anything you record or playback may well be out of phase with what the other card is recording/playing back. The standard way of dealing with this is to have sound interfaces with multiple inputs and outputs all synchronised to one clock.
