Sorry, I've just remembered Frank's reply on the other thread about your 
card not supporting analog output commands, so my reply doesn't help you!

If you want reliable paced output on this card, you'll have to use the 
comedi_rt_timer kernel module, but that needs RTLinux or RTAI.

The reason AO commands are not supported on your card is that it has no 
AO FIFO.  In theory, it's possible to support AO commands using timer 
interrupts from the card, but the interrupt response time jitter is 
deemed unacceptable from Comedi's point of view.  (Having said that, 
there are one or two drivers that do this and have slipped under the 
Comedi radar!)
