Make sure you have the ALSA config file, as alsalib won't get on
with dw-hdmi only accepting 24-bit audio without this.  A copy is
attached.  It also tells ALSA how to deal with multi-channel audio
as well.

# The mapping of ALSA channels to surround channels is very imprecise.
# ALSA uses a different terminology and speaker placement to the CEA
# surround positioning.  CEA has the positioning of:
#
#			LFE
#	FL	FLC	FC	FRC	FR
#
#
#	RL	RLC	RC	RRC	RR
#
# ALSA's idea is:
#
#			LFE
#		FL	C	FR
#
#		SL		SR
#
#		RL		RR
#
# We do our best to map between these representations.
