Having meddled some with this myself, and as Steve intimated, without the availability and ability of word-clock syncing between whatever cards being used in the multi card config, they drift at whatever settings you use from Jack and it results in distortion, xruns and all kinds of other nasties. I played with 2 identical SB Live 5.1's for some time in hopes of getting the "cheap fix" only to find that the oldest principle in life applies; You get what you pay for!"
