Thanks for sharing your solution.

I have only quickly read over your mail, but you should be able to do
what you want even with using pulseaudio, and I would strongly recommend
you use it, it's good stuff.

You could try something like this:

$ cat ~/.asoundrc 
pcm.!default {
	type pulse
}

ctl.!default {
	type pulse
}

and then in pavucontrol select your second sound card in the 'Output
Devices' tab.

Cheers
