I got it working. The issue was with the spdif optical output on my
secondary audio card. Pulse audio initially would not output 5.1 so I
disabled it and tried ALSA. I was then able to output 5.1 in VLC but I was
not able to get any audio to output elsewhere. After trying multiple ALSA
mixers to no avail, I reinstalled pulse audio and viola, I retained 5.1
output in VLC through ALSA and now have stereo output via pulse audio for
all other applications.
Thank you for your help!
