Good luck.
When I told them my nForce board supported hardware mixing, based
upon
nVidia's documentation, I was told, flat out, I was wrong...
I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist, but I think it was easy
for
them to patch up the i810 module to support the nForce, and that
driver's current architecture doesn't allow for advanced features
like
hardware mixing.
The A7N8X, IIRC, uses the nForce2 chip, which uses the same driver,
so
you're likely as SOL as I was.
Sorry.
I hope you have better luck with the devs than I did, though.

This is not fault of ALSA developers, this is fault of NVIDIA which not release datasheets for their chips. This is becase many firms lying customers and instead selling chips there are selling software drivers (which are mostly free in linux) maybe this is case of NVIDIA. I personally don't trust NVIDIA.

The nforce motherboards actually have 2 audio PCI devices. One is the codec controller, which uses the alsa snd-intel8x0. It works ok in linux apparently, but I am not sure about whether it has multiopen/hardware mixing features or not as I don't own one to test.
The second audio PCI device on nforce motherboards is an Audio DSP, and we have no datasheets for this Audio chip, so cannot support the fancy realtime hardware based audio effects it may or may not be able to do.
