Works great!  One typo I had to find and fix though.

pcm_slave eightchannels should be pcm_slave.eightchannels

Notice the extra '.'

Thanks again!

 Sorry, didn't test them.
 Try this:
 
 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
   ipc_key 8788
   slave eightchannels
   bindings [ 0 1 ]
   }
 }
 pcm.stereo2 {
   type plug
   slave.pcm {
   type dshare
   ipc_key 8788
   slave eightchannels
   bindings [ 2 3 ]
   }
 }
 pcm.stereo3 {
   type plug
   slave.pcm {
   type dshare
   ipc_key 8788
   slave eightchannels
   bindings [ 4 5 ]
   }
 }
 pcm.stereo4 {
   type plug
   slave.pcm {
   type dshare
   ipc_key 8788
   slave eightchannels
   bindings [ 6 7 ]
   }
 }

 I have a Bluegears b-Enspirer 7.1 Sound Card CMI8788 that I am looking

 I would like to seperate out the stereo outs to multiple outputs, so I
 can use it as a backend for my house with zones.

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.

 I also would like to leave the Digital out as an 7.1 to work with my
 stereo for Watching movies.

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

I tried those commands in my 1.0.16 alsa, and it doesn't like them.
What version are they for?  17? 18?
