Alsa still refuses to stop giving the device or resource busy excuse.

Did that. Now I have sound on the second card, as opposed to the first
one which was the case with the alsaconf generated modules.conf. I may
have missed this in my previous experiments, expecting default sound on
the same card always.

I now have sound on card #2 with my homemade modules.conf. However, I
can not see more than 2 audio i/o channels for the one and only alsa_pcm
available in the qjackctl connections "Readable Clients / Output ports"
and "Writable Clients / Input Ports" audio window. I can see the midi
i/o:s of all three cards, but only one audio i/o.

Thanks for the help,
Timo
