Oh boy!!!! You really don't want to go down that particular rabbit hole.
That patch set was applied at one point in time. It stayed applied for
far longer than it should have done despite the complaints. (It resulted
in at least two types of breakage, that I'm aware of.) It was finally
reverted before they made the last Raspbian build...... because they
didn't want to ship a new Raspbian release with the breakage caused by
that complete lash of a multi-channel PCM ALSA patch......

FWIW, the guys that I'm aware of playing multi-channel material are
using kodi and the RPi closed firmware, ie. not the ALSA driver.
