IIUIC pulseaudio (PA) uses sinks provided by alsa. So, if after first 
starting X (and this then starting PA), PA can't see the second card, 
then I'd check firstly whether alsa provides these sinks at this moment:

$ aplay -L
$ aplay -l


Does the output to these two commands change after you killed & 
restarted PA ?

According to man pulseaudio and man pulse-client.conf, there are various 
conf files which can be used to set the default sink device definition: 
/etc/pulse/default.pa and /etc/pulse/pulse-client.conf, and their 
counterparts in the ~yourusername/.config/pulse/ directory. There are 
also hardcoded defaults, and all current config can be viewed by

$ pulseaudio --dump-conf
