You cant easily because the soundblaster and RME (unless you have wordclocked them) will be running out of sync. If you did manage to make a virtual device that read from the RME and wrote to the SB you would get lots of clicks and pops. If you want a cheaper solution and your not as worried about sound quality (which i guiess is true if your willing to use a sb) you could by a cheap ADAT/SPDIF DA converter and connect that to the rme. - Steve
