Comment(by howl):

 Could not be mapped to a defaul channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-
 left,rear-right,front-center,lfe,side-left,side-right like the analog 7.1?
 following the same rule analog 5.1 or 7.1 should be automapped as some
 cards can have switched the center and lfe analog channels.

 Mine is using the default or at least the more used mapping, could be
 interesting to know what combination is the most used by hdmi manufactures
 and use it by default.

 This is the mapping I have done as should be usable for all the nvidia
 hdmis, if people with 8-ch amd or intel hdmis can test if it works with
 them I thinks that this could be the default mapping.

 [Mapping hdmi-surround-71]
 description = Digital Surround 7.1 (HDMI)
 device-strings = hdmi:%f
 channel-map = front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe
 ,side-left,side-right
 priority = 6
 direction = output
