Noise appears when I test speaker in sound settings UI, so there is no specific command. Also, when test sound stops - clicking doesn't.
I know it doesn't make sense, but it is what it is.
BTW, noise appears in target output, meaning even if I do not skip output, but try to direct LFE to third output (one of rear speakers), there is no sound there, only mentioned noise.

Is it possible that sound card doesn't want to output low frequency sound on other than default output, I mean some hardware/firmware limitation?
I'd be fine if LFE worked with 3rd output instead of 6th.

Sorry, I meant surround21.

What do you mean by "noise in nth output starting from 1 instead,
relatively hight frequency light clicking"? How were you testing
exactly? speaker-test? if so what're the "-D"s you used? Can you paste
full commands (and maybe even the text output).

What you said doesn't seem to make sense. If surround51 works, then
surround41 and surround20 should at most cause a signal/speaker
mismatch. I don't see how it can produce some weird noise/click.

OK, I've spent another hour or so trying different combinations and it seems
to be a bug inside either ALSA or PulseAudio.
SB Omni Surround 5.1, as you can see from name, has 6 outputs:
front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right,front-center,lfe (lets ignore
other non-related inputs/outputs here)
I've done many experiments and defined which modes are working and which
doesn't.

Modes that work fine:
- 5.1
- 5.0
- 4.0
- 2.0

Modes that doesn't work fine:
- 2.1 (stereo only, noise in 3rd output starting from 1 instead, relatively
hight frequency light clicking)
- 4.1 (quadro only, noise in 5th output starting from 1 instead, relatively
hight frequency light clicking)

It is clearly visible that any time I want to skip some output, for
instance:
     ttable.0.FL 1
     ttable.1.FR 1
     ttable.5.LFE 1
instead of
     ttable.0.FL 1
     ttable.1.FR 1
     ttable.2.LFE 1

To direct LFE to proper output it doesn't work. This is the same reason why
5.0 is working fine (no skipped outputs, all consequent) and 4.1 doesn't (we
need to skip 5th output starting from 1 and use 6th instead).

When I try this:
     ttable.0.FL 1
     ttable.2.FR 1
     ttable.1.LFE 1
then as expected I can hear LFE in right front output.

Any hints from anyone what is wrong here? There are literally NO DOCS about
how it works internally, so these experiments all I can provide at the
moment.
There were pulseaudio logs in this thread if anyone needs details.

I've been looking at those lines. Do you think it should be done in
USB-Audio, or should it be added into separate config file specific for this
sound card?

The route of surround21 is hardcoded to use surround51 , this mean your
ttable are used by those usb audio support 6 channels, those usb audio which
only support 8 channels need to define their own 21 route as both surround51
and surround71 of usb audio use route plugin
