The driver use more than two channels only after David 's patch

But all internal speakers of the notebook are at front of  the user, The 3D
sound effect is quite different from your external 5.1 speakers

Do you mean your 5930g need champ {FL FR RL RR LFE }?

This can be easily implemented by using "swap center/lfe" switch for those
codec support R/L swap

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=blob_plain;f=test/chmap.c;hb=HEAD

http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-lib.git;a=tree;f=src/conf/pcm;hb=HEAD

If codec does not support R/L swap, your 4.1 swap chmap need 5.0 routing

Do you expect pulseaudio show 4.1 swap(5.0) profile for internal speakers
and 4.1 and 5.1 profiles for external speakers ?
