That asound.conf works very well on an Intel dg45 mainboard as well as it has the HDMI channel order all messed up. Question though, how would one go about routing the default playback device to say surround51 since if the stream has fewer channels than expected, it should still do the right thing. Also, is there any way to have this asound.conf use the plug layer instead of using the hdmi device directly. If I for example give it a 22khz wav, it won't play as it's an unsupported sample rate and the plugin layer takes care of that.
