ok, then you need something similar like below:

pcm.dup4ch {
	type hooks
	slave.pcm {
		type hw
		card 0
		device 0
	}
	hooks.0 {
		type ctl_elems
		hook_args [
			{
				name "Rear Path"
				preserve true
				value true
			}
			{
				name "PCM Reverb Playback Volume"
				index { @func private_pcm_subdevice }
				preserve true
				value 127
			}
		]
	}
}	


then run "aplay -Ddup4ch some-2ch.wav"
