OK, it's the first time to get a bug report about this.
Could you tell me how did you test it (i.e. which application, which
sound backend)?  Can you confirm that it's reproduced via speaker-test
program in alsa-utils package?

For further debugging, please give the following:
- alsa-info.sh output while playing 5.1 sound
- /proc/asound/card*/eld* contents while playing 5.1 sound

Also, try to update alsa-lib and alsa-utils from alsa-project.org git
tree, and build alsa-lib/test/chmap program.
	% cd alsa-lib/test
	% make chmap

and run like

	./chmap -Dhdmi:1 query

(-Dhdmi:1 might be different depending on the system setup)


thanks,

Takashi
