Bingo! Thanks guys for slowly pointing me to the right direction.
This + a stumble over http://alsa.opensrc.org/1712_.asoundrc#2003-09-18
lead to this:

pcm.ice1712 {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 0
}

pcm.monitor {
    type plug
    ttable.0.10 1 # digital mix left
    ttable.1.11 1 # digital mix right
    slave.pcm ice1712
}

Et voila 'qarecord --device monitor'

Cheers,
