I finally bought two jack-RCA cables and connected the analog ports of my 
soundcard and my amp, and tried module-remap-sink.

I found the right load-module to use with pacmd, for the record in my use-
case it's:
load-module module-remap-sink sink_name=atdesk 
master=alsa_output.pci-0000_00_1b.0.analog-surround-51 channels=6 
channel_map=front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe 
master_channel_map=rear-left,front-left,rear-right,front-right,front-
center,lfe

I added it to default.pa, and it works perfectly. Thanks a lot for your 
help.

Cheers,

Aurélien
