How can I get both a SPDIF and an analog signal from a PC?

Computer Audio Asylum

Music servers and other computer based digital audio technologies.

I using a laptop to play my networked music. I use a Turtle Island USB soundcard to extract a SPDIF signal that then goes to my ARCAM AVP700 (and uses the ARCAM's internal DAC). The problem is that, in order to use Zone 2 (for the backyard speakers), I need to send an analog signal to the ARCAM pre as well. But, the PC only seems to let me output to 1 soundcard.
Is there any way to activate 2 soundcards on the PC?
Or, does anyone know of an inexpensive USB card that will output both analog and digital at the same time?
Any other ideas?
Thanks, Samir.
