AFAICT it should work now with Gnome and multiple soundcards as long as each screen logs in as a separate user - gnome-soundcard-properties just modifies the .asoundrc to set the default soundcard. If Gnome could be made aware of this multiple-console-user mode then it seems like it could be made plug and play... With a single soundcard it seems like it would be very tricky and hardware-dependent, because Front and Rear are not independent on most devices?
