hm, i'm not sure but it should be no problem to pan one stream left and
the other to the right... or am i wrong?

That would be a simple software solution and using a Y-cable would work for
the hardware portion. If you have a pan control in each program you use you
should be able to set it hard left or right and every thing should work
fine. As far as making the computer believe it's two separate cards, that is
doubtful. Way too many variables and some very low level (even below OS
level) stuff would be needed. There's very strict rules even for using one
soundcard with multiple programs (bit rates much match, etc.). I would try
setting each program's pan to hard the Y-cable solution.
