The multichannel RME devices do not support being opened with less than
full channel counts or with the wrong sample format. Any approach that ends
up using plughw:CARDNAME should work just fine. For some, using such a
device name will be deep kung-fu, for others not so much. And it may depend
on the application how easy it is.
