My primary desktop system has that exact issue with F8 (audigy and intel ac97), 
except with the pulseaudio 0.9.8 update from testing this is partly fixed. 
While I still cannot get the volume meter to open with the correct card (it 
picks the intel chip) I do get most applications to use the correct one by 
default now, and they did not in 0.9.7.  In 0.9.7 I had to open an application, 
then open volume control, and move the stream to the other sink.  I hope to move 
that system to rawhide soon and see how things are progressing with fresh 
pulseaudio settings.
