I assume that you've done:
cat /proc/interrupts
cat /proc/pci
cat /proc/dma
cat /proc/ioports
and other such things.
PCI cards can happily share the same interrupt, no problem. That's
one of the big advantages in going from isa -> pci and what you are
seeing is certainly not your problem.

No idea.

Don't bother. No.

No, not at all. In fact, it may make things worse if you start trying to
manually assign interrupts.
Besides, if I recall correctly, irq7 is (sometimes) used by the
parport.

Could be worth trying. Make sure that your bios is not doing anything
to the IRQs.
I have banshee/v3 systems with esoniq pci sound cards (1370 and 1371
chipsets... for various reasons I actually prefer the 1370). It all
works nicely here. (Redhat 5.2, 6.0 and now 6.1).
Cheers
