Now you really have to tell us what do you mean with "true" residuals. From the 
point of view adonis() "true residuals" are dissimilarities, but it seems that 
you want something completely different. What that may be? Your concept of 
"residual" seems to be different from mine, so please explain what you want to 
have.

If you want to have residuals of raw data, you can use rda() and its 
residuals() method. However, if you intend to use these in subsequent analysis, 
please note that labdsv functions at least seem to assume that data are 
non-negative, but it does not check this.
