I had the same problem with full unprocessed sound coming out of my Audiotrak card even after internally routing everything to ASIO. With some help from Iceman_jkh, he informed me I had to mute the channels I was sending the audio stream from routing it to ASIO. Is there a way to mute the monitor function for channels 1&2? I'll see if I can dig up any info on how the firewire410 was used.
Edit: I guess you are on the right track. I would think there has to be way to do it without the loopback cable though. DO you have any good screenshots of the M-audio control panel? The manual has very poor pictures.

I'll grab screenshots tomorrow morning. I'm working a 15 hour day today, then going bowling 'till 3am.. heh
I don't completely remember, but I can mute all of the hardware and software inputs. Unfortunately, console ties the ASIO outputs to the software inputs for channels 1-10, so if I mute either the software input or hardware output, it mutes the channel. (a screenshot will better explain it) but I can route the HW outputs to: SW input, monitor mixer (for ch 1+2 and spdif only), spdif in, spdif (channels L/R swapped), and hardware inputs. I might be mistaken about the muting though.
I don't mind using the loopback at all. If it makes things work, it makes 'em work. I ordered two off the 'bay for $10 shipped total so it's not like it's money wasted.
Oh, remember how I was asking you about multiples of these cards? Well apparently in other apps, cubase, logic, etc, they add inputs/outputs, so instead of having 1-10, you get 1-20. very cool.

Page 23, option 3.
S/pdif in connects the s/dif out port directly to the hardware s/pdif in.
Then I think you could select your audio player to paly out the spdif only. Then in console, select s/pdif in as your input, and then use your analog outs for the out.
That should work in theory.
All that does is connect HW spdif out directly to HW spdif in. A passthrough of sorts.
I wish I had the options that the mac users do for this card. Their control panel software can directly connect to ASIO in AND out... heh
