Comment(by paul at paulcatchpole.co.uk):

 Right, it seems [and it didn't use to be like this!] that if I list my -v
 flags as general,important,audio I only get important and audio. Putting
 the general at the end means I get the  "VERBOSE(VB_GENERAL,
 QString("Opening ALSA audio device '%1'.")            .arg(real_device));"
 from audiooutputalsa.cpp.

 This results in the following, which seems to show it opening the surround
 device, then opening the softvol. Odd!

 I'm guessing that audio_channels holds the target stream's number of
 channels which should be 6 in this case. In which case, the
 real_device.mid(index+1) should return the surround51m. This doesn't seem
 to be the case though, as the "Opening Audio device" line shows the
 combined entry.

 Does this mean that whatever decides whether a device is ALSA or not is
 deciding that the combined device name of ALSA:softvol|surround51 isn't
 actually an ALSA device?
