Well, that's because you cannot beat physics with software. If those cards don't know the notion of "time" the other has then how should they stay in sync? This is neither a problem of ALSA nor Jack, it's simply a hardware issue. It's a bit like two people trying to play the same saxophone at the same time: it won't fly. You should get a real multichannel card or two cards that provide a way to be synced to each other like the M-Audio Delta cards should do (never tried) or the RME cards. Multichannel cards based on the IC1721 chips are really inexpensive nowadays.
