You don't need dmix for this, because you don't want to mix several
sources to the same channel.  Try something like this (untested):

pcm_slave.slave51 {
        pcm surround51
        channels 6
        rate 48000  # not sure if this is needed
}

pcm.shared_l_r {
        type dshare
        slave slave51
        ipc_key 123456
        bindings {
                0 0
                1 1
        }
}

pcm.shared_c {
        type dshare
        slave slave51
        ipc_key 123456
        bindings {
                0 4
        }
}

pcm.l_r {  # same as shared_l_r, but for other sample rates etc.
        type plug
        pcm.slave shared_l_r
}

pcm.center {
        type plug
        pcm.slave shared_c
}
