hw:1,0 ###for stereo second card
hw:1,1 ###for 4-speakers second card
hw:1,2 ###for 6-speakers second card
But listen

aplay -L
Search yur devices and subdevices.
Remember - SBLive relaces two, thre integrated card`s is very nice!. If I downloading Amarok may be something write. Good luck .....Lex
XINE is very nice Player, MPlayer is better

OK, I have Amarok 1.4 Fast Forward.
No problem, if You use Gstreamer Engine look in hidden file /home/user/./kde/share/config/amarokrc
find section [Gst Engine]
Sound Device=/dev/dsp1
But better use Xine-engine
Do Amarok / Settings / Configure Amarok/ Module
Set Output Xine and plugin ALSA!!!!
Now for MONO write hw:1,0
Stereo hw:1,0
For 4 Spekers plug:surround40:1
For 6 Speakers plug:surround51:1
Reload Amarok a Goooo!!!!, Good Luck, fine player .....Lex
