Using two sound cards

By trying to multitrack record with "play other tracks while recording new one" enabled, I have determined that my Intel soundcard is not capable of simultaneously recording and playing. However, I have successfully configured Audacity to play through a Logitech USB sound card.  Yet when I attempt to record with the intel while playing back with the Logitech USB, Audacity reports an "error while opening sound device" just as when I was using the Intel for both. What the heck is going on? I have the playback in Audacity's preferences set to "OSS: /dev/dsp1" and recording set to "OSS: /dev/dsp" (stereo).

Kubuntu 7.10
Intel Core Duo
