[PD] cannot get multichannel output in Windows (neither ASIO nor MMIO)

[wind at mikrokiko.de]

hi list; 
anyone succeeded to get a multichannel-firewire-output to work on a xp-system?
i use an edirol FA-101;
if i try to activate MMIO i get the message like "multiple audio devices not supported";
if i try to activate ASIO with number of channels > 2 i get no signal-out at all;

all channels work pairwise if i reduce the number of channels to 2; 
but i couldn´t manage to get audio on all channels for eg. [dac~ 1 2 3 4 5 6 x].

this might not be primarily an ASIO-problem because i get a multi-output in other programs 
via ASIO.

check also motu-problems, which might be related:

any idea or workaround for this? 

thanks
