As Brett said, you want to use envy24control. It's very similar to the software described in the manual that came with my Delta 66 card, so you can use your manual for reference. I also second the suggestion for Planet CCRMA. I'm not new to Linux or Linux Audio, but once I installed Planet CCRMA I never even considered not using it...
