Channels 11 and 12 resemble the digital mixer, so basically you can route
whatever input to the mixer and record the mixer. This way you can mix
analog inputs with digital input and record the result.

Channes 9 and 10 are the spdif channels yes (though asoundrc counts them
as 8 and 9 since it starts numbering from zero).

At least I have managed to record from spdif and from digital mixer. I
don't remember if it was the default settings or modified ones and I don't
have the settings anymore.
