The explicit mention of 5.1 was with vc4hdmi.
I know that there was a multichannel option, without an explicit mention of 
how many channels, which I'm reasonably certain was with snd_bcm2835.
There's a good chance that that was with a much earlier kernel, possibly 4.19 
or 5.4.

In my perception, a lot of things changed wrt RPi/VC4 and thus audio with the 
5.10 kernel. That contributed to my confusion (and frustration) about what I 
should do/enable/disable or configure in a wayX or wayY.
