I would have just run alsaconf as su...but I think this looks ok...

1010LT has 8 analogue ins and outs...it does not know which to send to here??

Also, get the Envy24control app for your alsa version. It's a "must have" for 
the Delta 1010. You will also need to adjust levels for the seperate 
channels.

Have no fear...you can do all that and MUCH more. I had the same transitional 
plan you did...and I'm VERY happy withj my 1010LT.


I use a distro that has rpms and alsa is built into the kernel so I'm not 
sure. It looks to me like oyur starting from scratch with alsa...

Also, at the bottom of that alsa page there's some .asoundrc examples...the 
one for the "hoontech" works well. It shows 10 ins and 12 outs which is odd 
but it does give you your multi channel functionality.
