The problem here is that these soundcards are not guaranteed to be

long run, one card will need more buffers to play, while the other
is still processing the previous one.

I don't think there is any software that deals with this, though
maybe I am mistaken. (Theoratically, by randomly 'throwing away'
samples once in a while for the 'slower' soundcard, this problem
could be solved)
