I'd prefer a multi-purpose configuration with multiple

sinks/sources:

...

• Source 'DAW': aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6
• Source 'Mic/Instrument': channel 0/1 = left/right
• Source 'Line': channel 2/3 = left/right
• Source 'S/PDIF' channel 4/5 = left/right
• Source 'TV' channel 4/5 = left/right

(=S/PDIF)

...

• Sink 'DAW':

aux1,aux2,aux3,aux4,aux5,aux6,aux7,aux8,aux9,aux10

...

• Sink 'Stereo1/Headphone A': channel 0/1 = left/right
• Sink 'Stereo2/Headphone B': channel 2/3 = left/right
• Sink 'Stereo3': channel 4/5 = left/right
• Sink 'Stereo4': channel 6/7 = left/right
• Sink 'Stereo5/SPDIF': channel 8/9 = left/right
• Sink 'Surround 7.1': front-left, front-right,

rear-left, rear-right, center, lfe, side-left, side-right

...

• Sink 'Surround 7.1 -> 5.0': front-left, front-right,

rear-left, rear-right, center, lfe -> front-left + front-right, side-left -> front-left + rear-left, side-right -> front-right + rear-right

Pulseaudio only support different device

If your driver only have simgle device for 10 channel playback and 6 channel capture

ALSA provides the following hardware-devices/plugs:

• sysdefault:CARD=FCA610
• front:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• surround21:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• surround40:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• surround41:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• surround50:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• surround51:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• surround71:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• iec958:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• dmix:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• dsnoop:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• hw:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0
• plughw:CARD=FCA610,DEV=0

Are you sure that those devices really work ?
