OK, that's good to know.

So, you're playing two-channel samples and get no output from surround
and CLFE?  Or, does it happen if you play a real 5.1 channel file?
(for example, try speaker-test -c6)

Also, it'd be helpful if you compare
/proc/asound/card0/codec97#0/ac97#0-0+regs file before and after the
patch.  This reveals which register bits differ actually.
