the 2.6 kernel version uses /etc/modprobe.conf

Yes, you can do that, but for most cards the samples will fall out of sync.  
Each card has a clock that tells it when to take a sample during analog to 
digital conversion. So, if you have two different clocks the samples will not 
match up.  There are a couple of different ways that you can make two cards 
use the same clock to take samples, but they have to be supported by your card 
at a hardware level.

Hope this helps,
