Hi,
Actually it goes out of scope space of X.
You should ask to sound system developers, how i can set default sound  
card according to my environment variables with multiple sound cards  
on board.

Here is little outdated link:

This tool will replace sound device files like /dev/dsp* with links to  
each sound card files
depending of DISPLAY variable.
