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.
