Comment:

 Hmm, is it possible that the order in which sink and source are
 initialized is relevant to this bug? i.e. HAl seems to initialize the
 source front:0 first. Which works. And then the sink surround51:0 is
 initialized, which fails.

 However, when you manually configured it you didn't configure a source at
 all. In which case surround51 did work. Do you have one of those devices
 which use the same plug for the rear channels and the recording channels?
