1) you'd be better off on alsa-devel right now.
2) the error is in alsa-lib's parsing of your ~/.asoundrc file.

the passthru utility simply turns on the card, but disables
interrupts, and enables hardware monitoring for all channels. as a
result, any incoming audio will be passed through to the output
channels, with no load on the host CPU (though some small hit on the
PCI bus, since the h/w will still copy the data into the DMA buffer).
it won't help you here.
