I don't know what to do and there seems to be not all options available.
I even don't know how to safe aslamixer settings ;).

Perhaps the issue I experience has nothing to do with this matrix I
already mentioned, but at least there is such a matrix and it seems to
be not available by alsamixer. I also don't know how to do submixes by
alsamixer.

You go to the terminal and run alsamixer, select the RME card and cannot
configure it there?

I found this:

Well-intentioned, but I need to setup something that allows my card to
rout the IOs to the jackd ports.

Perhaps it isn't related to the issue, but I miss options such as
setting the matrix:
http://media.soundonsound.com/sos/mar05/images/rme3matrix.l.jpg

It's said e.g. by Paul Davis, that alsamix does provide _everything_ for
RME cards, but I can't find it for alsamixer.

Pulseaudio doesn't handle audio cards on that level, it's not installed
on my machine.

Try Pulse audio Volume control.  I don't use it but you may have it
configured on your system.
