If you don't mind a hardware solution to the problem, and your cards have enough inputs/outputs, you can connect the SPDIF out from one card to the SPDIF in on another card, effectively daisy-chaining the cards together. This would result in the first card's audio output only playing audio from the card itself, and the second card's audio output playing audio from both cards. Most cards these days have internal pins for extra inputs and outputs, so you can connect them together internally without any external loopback cables. I know for a fact the SBLive has three stereo digital outputs (one for the front speakers, one for the rear, and one for the centre/subwoofer) so if you connected the front SPDIF-out to your motherboard's SPDIF-in pins you should have the result you're after.
