I don't have a RME card and don't entirely understand how this works,
but I think the informtation you need is related to alsa pcm plugins and
ttable definitions which you need to define in a .asoundrc file...

I know that is somewhat vague, but here are some references that may
help:

The links under Configuration on this page:

I'm pretty sure this has been discussed on the list before, so the
archives probably have something on this as well.
