If you're using udev, you can distinguish between the cards using the
device path, since that'll include the PCI slot number (which
shouldn't change unless you're hotplugging PCI devices, I assume).

There's a script to do it for USB devices here:
  http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Udev

I've adapted it to just match regexps against the device path, so you
can use it for PCI devices too. It seems to work for me, but I haven't
tested it thoroughly. (In particular, I'm sitting a few miles away
from the machine I'm testing on, so I haven't actually tried *doing*
anything with the sound devices yet...)

The script I'm using is here:
