It's not obvious from that.  There is an alsa-users list at 
alsa-user at lists.sourceforge.net.  I had to go to them once with a problem and
found that they have detailed knowledge of a lot of sound cards.  The 
solution to my problem wasn't obvious either - and it was a matter of
finding
the channel setting to record, so similar to yours.  They were very helpful.
