cat /dev/sndstat
FreeBSD Audio Driver (newpcm)
Installed devices:
pcm0: <Creative EMU10K1> at io 0xa000 irq 11 (4p/2r/0v channels duplex)
pcm1: <SB16 DSP 4.16> at io 0x220 irq 5 drq 1:5 bufsz 4096d (1p/1r/0v channels 
duplex)

when I put the second one in heh.  And it just goes.

For completeness, you can do those with one soundcard too, even with both esd 
and artsd running.  http://freebsd.kde.org/faq.shtml Question 11.
