Michael,
Winamp's output is configureable for alternate sound card or device from
what your system defauls is.
Check the menu in Winamp

OPTIONS/PREFERENCES/SETUP/PLUG-INS/OUTPUT

Double Clik on the

 Nullsoft waveOut plug-in

The default device is WAV MAPPER.  The dropdown menu allows selection of
alternate devices. If you have 2 sound cards both should appear on the menu.
I believe you must make sure your sounds cards are not sharing an interrupt.

Good luck. I am interested in your results either way as i am working on
something similar.
