As part of my experimenting to get both of my cards playing the same
stream, I defined a configuration in asoundrc using the multi plugin,
per the docs here
http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/alsa-lib/pcm_plugins.html

The complete asoundrc follows. Testing using aplay -vD XXX myfile.wav,
where XXX is the pcm name, usb, desktop and default work fine;
however, multi and ttable both give an error:
aplay: set_params:906: Channels count non available

What does this mean and how can I fix it?

You can't use the multi plugin this way.  The two sound cards will drift
out of sync over time.

Or unless you do this:

Couple of cheap SB live 5.1's are ideal.
