The digital ports are S/PDIF.  Connect the S/PDIF output from some
device to the 1010's port and you've got it.  What?  You don't have
any S/PDIF-capable devices?  Then you're just going to have the 8 
analog ports available.

No, each port is mono, so you'll have 4 stereo pairs.

Yes.  You may need to run 4 instances of ecasound, one for each
stereo pair, to do this (I don't know ecasound at all) but as long as
each instance is looking at a different pair of input ports, you
should be fine.
