[WriteLog] More 3 sound cards

Final results.

I confirmed that Writelog seems to only be able to control mute, select and 
volume on the card at index [0] in spite of what SoundBoardIndex=x you put 
in the [Configuration] section of writelog.ini. That seems to be a BUG, not 
a feature.

No amount of tricks would get my Sound Blaster 16PCI installed at index [0] 
and the Sound Blaster PCI128 at index [1]. Changing slots and/or order of 
install the PCI128 always ended up at index [0]

So if you can't beat them, join them. I bought another Sound Blaster 16PCI 
yesterday. After several attempts, what worked was to let BOTH cards be 
detected and the drivers loaded. Some where in the uninstalling I wiped the 
driver for the SoundMax also. But by using the "update driver" option I was 
able to get its mixer back.

So last night I was working RTTY on card 0, decoding AO40 telemetry on card 
1 and just to show off playing a CD using card 2. BTW with a correct 
install the Sound Blaster cards came up labeled: "Creative SB AudioPCI" and 
"Creative SB AudioPCI (2)".
