No idea :-)

I see you have the asoundrc file that is included in the examples in the
alsa project web site (in the sound card matrix). Did you put that in
your ~/.asoundrc file?

To get four channels going you have to use the devices for four channels
as listed in in the file. For example:
  aplay --device quattro whatever...
would use the "quattro" device (instead of "default" which would
normally point to "hw:0"). With one of the devices (can't remember
which) I was able to start jack in four channel playback mode (this was
a while ago).
