Sort of.  The cmipci has two stereo devices and the intel8x0 has one.

If I want the cards ganged then I want to be able to use all the 
playback channels. Unfortunately the cmipci doesn't have a corresponding 
  capture device for pcmC0D1p which I think is what's causing the problems.

I'm not sure that the .asoundrc file can deal with that or not. Is there 
anything I can do to fake pcmC0D1c or alsa-lib into using pcmC0D0c 
instead or can I just not use that device as part of a multishare dummy 
card?
