You would need software that measures that actual sample rate of both devices and resamples its output appropriately. Try using PulseAudio.
I have tried to apply pulseaudio but couldn't really manage it.

I think this is not what I want. I don't want to combine the two sound cards. I want to route the audio being played on one sound card to the other sound card. I have found the following answer: http://askubuntu.com/questions/168333/routing-sound-from-different-cards-to-...
So with the following line:
pactl load-module module-loopback source=<name_or_index> sink=<name_or_index>
I should be able to achieve what I want. However, I know no pulseaudio and I got some issues with it already.
For example, I start the pulseaudio with
root@dolevo:~# start-pulseaudio-kde W: [pulseaudio] main.c: This program is not intended to be run as root (unless --system is specified).
I guess it starts working properly after this call. However, I call
pactl list
to get the list of the devices but I get
root@dolevo:~# pactl list Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
So, what should I put as source and sink? I have already tried calling the following:
pactl load-module module-loopback source=hw:1,0 sink=0,3
However I again receive:
Connection failure: Connection refused pa_context_connect() failed: Connection refused
I would appreciate if you could help. _______________________________________________ Alsa-devel mailing list Alsa-devel@alsa-project.org http://mailman.alsa-project.org/mailman/listinfo/alsa-devel
Hi Clemens,
Could you please tell me where I can get some help about pulseaudio? I tried pulseaudio-discuss but my question is not even posted there yet.
Since my question is now related to the pulseaudio, I have asked my current question to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20370418/pulseaudio-connection-issue
I'd appreciate your help.

I have come to conclusion that this issue is way more complex that I thought and won't be "possible" to implement even with the help of pulseaudio since I will require a complete new implementation. I thought that it would be solved by a configuration file in pulseaudio but apprently some development/code writing will be needed as well.
What I don't understand, ok one of the sound card gets drifted over time if two sound cards are employed in the system and therefore I got cut outs but why doesn't this happen if I use the same sound card alone? I mean the audio from my application is perfect if I use only the a sound card. But it produces intermittent cut outs if I use another sound card (b) together with a. Shouldn't have I gotten also the cut outs in the first casae?
Please enlighten me.
