Using a C-Media multichannel USB DAC

Here on my desktop lies a new cheap multichannel brand-less USB DAC. I
suppose it is based on a C-Media CM6206 chip. [1] From what I read in the
datasheet [2] signals must properly be routed using HID requests before
anything goes out of the connectors. How could this be done? My use case is to
use four channels consisting of independent stereo signals. One pair is to be
routed either to a jack or the S/PDIF output while the second pair is to be
routed to a headphone.
When plugged-in snd_uaudio recognises this device only a as stereo
one:
ugen1.2: <vendor 0x0d8c> at usbus1
uaudio0: <vendor 0x0d8c USB Sound Device, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.10, addr 2> on usbus1
uaudio0: Play: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, 16-bit S-LE PCM format
uaudio0: Record: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, 16-bit S-LE PCM format
uaudio0: No midi sequencer
pcm1: <USB audio> on uaudio0
uhid0: <vendor 0x0d8c USB Sound Device, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.10, addr 2> on usbus1
I've not yet managed to understand how the 8 channels of the device can be
exposed to userland. Could this be done? How? If it helps I've attached the
output produced by lsusb on this device.
