The Linux driver seem sharing two Dma channels with at least two playback
devices and capture device

The logic seem allow

front and rear playing different audio but no capture
Multi channel playback but no capture

open three terminals and try different combination of

speaker-test -c2 -t wav -D front

speaker-test -c2 -t wav -D rear

arecord -f dat -D plughw:0,0

speaker-test -c4 -t wav -D surround40

speaker-test -c6 -t wav -D surround51
