Sure it can be setup so that the USB and digital out run at the same time, just use the same scheme as in the normal file. The only problem is that you won't get anything out AT ALL, if the USB DAC is not plugged in. udev is the mechanism by which devices get named. By default your USB DAC can wind up with different names and card numbers making it difficult to write asound files, because the names are going to be different for everybody. There was a udev script posted here a while back which explicetly looks for any USB audio devices and gives them a specific name so it's always the same and people can distribute asound files and have them work on anybodies setup. Unfortunately it didn't go far enough, the presence of a USB device can cause the built in DAC or digital out to change THEIR name making any scheme to have output on two devices at the same time be rather difficult. This udev script needs to be extended so it names ALL audio devices, then its much easier since the names will always be the same.
