I'd already tried those ideas, however with a little bit of fiddling and 
(mainly) looking at where Amarok tries to send things I've solved the problem.

There were two separate issues:
1) On the Envy24 cards, ALSA hw: devices only work if the audio matches the 
device i.e. 24 bit 96 kHz.
2) Although the on-board sound is supposed to be disabled, that is device 0 
and the Midiman is device 1.

Therefore the correct setting seems to be plughw:1,0
