[alsa-devel] [PATCH 3/3] conf: Allow 2.1 surround to use different number of channels

This way, cards that support LFE on four channels (e g laptop with
internal subwoofer) can do that, and other cards on a six channel setup
can use that as well.

Well, note that there is still a reference to "pcm.surround51" left here.
In practice, for HDA Intel sound cards this does not matter as both
surround51 and surround40 reference the same definition.
(And that's the only card I currently know of that actually does
surround2.1 over four channels.)
