Well last night didn't happen for testing, but upon looking this morning, I have to take back my previous statement. All is working very well with 5.1 direct pulseaudio output. Perhaps it was an older version that I had to go via alsa or maybe I just made that up. Either way I can get really nice 5.1 output via spdif using the a52 alsa plugin on top of PA. Works really well.
