I'm not sure this is important, just reporting the behavior > I see. spdif cannot do uncompressed PCM for more than two channels. Only AC3-via-SPDIF can do 5.1. However, PA right now does not support AC3-pass-through. You have to bypass PA for doing this for now. surround51:0 should be opened exclusively with channels=6. Nothing else makes any sense.
