Previously you had 2 channels of stereo playback duplicated to every
channel pair of your 5.1 system. Now real multichannel support added to
snd_hda, so all excessive duplication was removed.

Now you should just configure vchans for your speakers setup by setting
dev.pcm.X.play.vchanformat sysctls and you will get _real_ multichannel
sound.
