Do you have seen M-Audio Delta 1010 ?
Or DMX6fire, or Hoontech/ST.Audio dsp2000, or rest of a list... It seems to me that only a few cut-down card versions have only 2 analogue in/out.
Still, as they are the devices are non-functional at least on my card, and I'm ready to bet that the same would happen on the Delta 1010 given that the number of channels is not coherent (you try to open surround71 as 8-channels and it'll fail because this minimal card has 10; if the 1010 has the same amount of channels, it'll still fail).
Here (on a rather old Alsa version) on DMX6fire:
aplay -Dfront try1.wav
does fail unless try1.wav is a 10-channel file, whereupon just the first 2 channels play out. A standard stereo wav file fails with a sample format error. So there is something not quite right with the config files.
Note that front and surround devices does not support automatic sample conversion. Use plug:front, plug:surround40 etc. devices.
