I don't have any direct help for you; I only use my cubox-i4 for 2 channel
mpd.

But, have you read the Alsa configuration docs?

http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Asoundrc

Also various linux distros have varying amounts of alsa configuration info
(Arch Linux, for example); though sadly a lot of them hide Alsa behind
Pulse, which is a fine general purpose interface but completely misses the
boat for people who want to play their music back at its native resolution.

If you are only using mpd you can through-configure alsa using the mpd
config file; probably also the same with various video players.

Assuming you have checked out the above, have you asked on the Alsa list?
