The "c" and "p" and the end of the device name stands for "capture" and "playback". So for I can see you only have one card (C0) and one device in the card (D0) with 2 channels 1 for playback and 1 for capture (or 2 for playback and 2 for capture. Please read the explanation below). You will need another card with at least 1 (or 2 as per below) channel for playback to do what you are trying to do. I should admit, though, that I'm still a little confused about the meaning of channel in the examples and documentation. In some part of it mention that each "pcmCxDyz" represents a channel. That differs with the classical definition of left and right channels. I believe that the examples without a clear definition of "channel" can be confusing. Is there anybody out there that can help to straight this out?

I want to use channel 1 and 2 for alsaplayer and channel 3 and 4 for another application. Now I only have 2 devices /dev/snd/pcmC0D0p and /dev/snd/pcmC0D0c I tried the asoundrc example on the alsa-project site with type multi. But no succes.
