The hardware cannot control the four analog outputs independently, but
it's possible to use plugins for ALSA-aware applications.
Put the following into your ~/.asoundrc or /etc/asound.conf:
pcm_slave eightchannels {
pcm "hw:0,0" # or "hw:1,0" for the second card
channels 8
}
pcm.stereo1 {
type plug
slave.pcm {
type dshare
slave eightchannels
}
bindings [ 0 1 ]
}
pcm.stereo2 {
type plug
slave.pcm { type dshare slave eightchannels }
bindings [ 2 3 ]
}
pcm.stereo3 {
type plug
slave.pcm { type dshare slave eightchannels }
bindings [ 4 5 ]
}
pcm.stereo4 {
type plug
slave.pcm { type dshare slave eightchannels }
bindings [ 6 7 ]
}
then use device names "stereo1" to "stereo4" instead of "default" or
"hw:x".

The SPDIF output is independent; it mirrors the front analog output only
when the "spdif" device is not being used.
