I'm not quite sure what to suggest to solve this but
below is an example of my simple setup that may help.

My USB cards always get loaded last due to the modprobe.conf
settings and I mainly use Jack with split i/o, incoming
from a USB mixer and outgoing to the S/PDIF on the motherboard.
jackd -R -dalsa -r48000 -p256 -n3 -D -Chw:1,0 -Phw:0,1 -i2 -o2
Perhaps you could define all your cards similar to my
pcm.NVidia and pcm.USX2Y entries and specifically use a
"aplay -D NVidia some.wav" to playback via different devices.
# cat /etc/modprobe.conf
options snd-usb-audio index=-2
options snd-usb-usx2y index=-2 nrpacks=1
# cat /etc/asound.conf
pcm.NVidia { type hw; card NVidia; }
ctl.NVidia { type hw; card NVidia; }
pcm.CA0106 { type hw; card CA0106; }
ctl.CA0106 { type hw; card CA0106; }
pcm.MW8CX { type hw; card default; }
ctl.MW8CX { type hw; card default; }
pcm.USX2Y { type hw; card USX2Y; }
ctl.USX2Y { type hw; card USX2Y; }
#pcm.!default pcm.NVidia
ctl.!default ctl.NVidia
#pcm.jackplug {
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}
pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
}
capture_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
}
}
