Good, I will send a patch to alsa-devel later today.

You can reduce the amount of time needed to fix the issue by posting a 
link to the very very verbose pulseaudio log that captures, among other 
things, the process of adjusting the volume with the Side Right knob in 
pavucontrol.

Also, could you please verify that the same "which knob controls what" 
picture holds when playing native 5.1 surround content with a 
semi-known-good player, as in the example below?

wget http://www.sr.se/laddahem/multikanal/dts/Prelude.zip
unzip Prelude.zip
ffplay -f dts Prelude.wav

(yes I know that ffplay and gstreamer disagree on the channel map for 
5.1 content)

This is expected for typical stereo content (and even with most surround 
concerts on DVDs and BluRays, because they are actually 5.0, not 5.1) 
and the default settings, and can be controlled with the 
enable-lfe-remixing setting in /etc/pulse/daemon.conf.
