1010LT has 8 analogue ins and outs...it does not know which to send to here??
Also, get the Envy24control app for your alsa version. It's a "must have" for
the Delta 1010. You will also need to adjust levels for the seperate
channels.

Have no fear...you can do all that and MUCH more. I had the same transitional
plan you did...and I'm VERY happy withj my 1010LT.
I use a distro that has rpms and alsa is built into the kernel so I'm not
sure. It looks to me like oyur starting from scratch with alsa...
Also, at the bottom of that alsa page there's some .asoundrc examples...the
one for the "hoontech" works well. It shows 10 ins and 12 outs which is odd
but it does give you your multi channel functionality.
