Having an NForce3 chipset, I experienced some problems when playing 5.1 DVD's.

In my case I used analog 5.1 output rather than optical, and ALSA was
forcing "Use Line-In as Surround" to be ON when playing throug the
surround51 "plugin".

I had to edit /usr/share/alsa/cards/NFORCE.conf in order to change

                        hooks.0 {
                                type ctl_elems
                                hook_args [
                                {
                                        name "Line-In As Surround"
                                        preserve true
                                        value true
                                        lock true
                                        optional true
                                }

To "value off" and things like that, since my mother board has analog
outputs for 5.1 that are independant from Line In / Mic.

Perhaps the configuration of your card is somehow forcing some flag
value (look for "hooks" sections) when you play through your specified
"plugin"?
