I put the above into ~/.asoundrc instead of /etc/asound.conf
and I actually get 5.1 surround sound with "mplayer -channels 6 dvd://..." 
but I'm afraid I don't get any sound in xmms.

So I trashed the "pcm.!default ..." portion and xmms at least puts out 
standard stereo (2ch) again.

I left the "pcm.!surround51..." portion untouched and mplayer keeps on playing 
surround sound.

Now, that's quite a success for me.
Cheers
Andreas
