Forget all this, as I just learned, monitor out is 63/64.

I don't know how familiar you are with hdspmixer, if in doubt, consult
the README.

What you might want to do: activate submix mode (either by pressing S or
clicking on the appropriate menu items), then choose "63+64" below an
input or playback fader, thus changing all faders to operate on 63+64.
Adjust according to your needs.
