You are suffering from an erroneous decision of ALSA team when it was changed 
a feature of the PCM API (0.4 to 0.5 transition): file descriptors were 
bounded up with channels, now is bounded up with cards.

Separate operation on multichannel card is easy at application level. 
However, low-level operations (i.e. routing) for each channel at kernel level 
is unnecessary complex.
