route ASIO to seprate cards?

I'm not sure if this makes any sense, but here goes anyway.
Is there any way to link ASIO channels between 2 differnt cards, either within KX or an external program? For example the first card takes the input and does it's thing, then outputs to ASIO on epilog. Then the ASIO output of the first card is somehow linked to the ASIO input of the second card, and so on.

the only way to do this currently is to physically link the cards together via SPDIF
you may find some helpful info on this here

Thanks for the reply, but that's not really how I'd like to do it. Is it simply imposible to link seprate cards internaly and have them talk to eachother? I've serched endlessly and came up with nothing.
I've tried VAC but it adds 100ms of latency and that gets distracting gameing/playing movies. /cry

Via SPDIF is the only way with out significant latency - why won't that work for you?

let me guess - You'll lose the inputs/outputs from connecting them together - well just how did you plan to 'connect' them so they can communicate? (nothing is free, so it would cost *something*) - and what would you have them communicate - dinner conversations - weather reports ... no, of course not - they would send/receive audio data.

which is what DJ_Stick linked to, a way to do just that - but it costs some I/O to do it (depending on your *needs*. Basically you can:
1) use 1 card as a sort of 'submix' to send 1 cards submixed audio (1 SPDIF connection from card 1 to card 2)
2) use 1 card as an external A/D converter for more analog inputs (multiple SPDIF from card 1 to card 2) - which is what was the main focus of the linked thread IIRC.
3) use 1 card in a sort of 'effects send/receive loop' (2 or more spdif connects - this time IN(s) and OUT(s) for a complete 'loop' - aka send / and receive)

All the above can be accomplished with little changes to what was linked to.
But may depend on you particular card model(s) - as not all cards have the connectors shown.
