Yes, it should detect both. There could be several reasons for the
failure. One is that for some reason the system does not see the card as
plugged in into the pci bus (which does not make sense as you say it
works under windows). Do a:
  lspci -v
Do you see an entry for the 2496?

The other reason could be that the card has a pci revision number that
is not recognized by the version of alsa that you have installed at this
point (is this the Planet CCRMA version? Or the original Fedora
version?).

Try loading (as root) the kernel module for the card and see what the
load process says:

  /sbin/modprobe snd-ice1712
