Ah, just to clarify, the custom changes I had made to my config files were an extra pcm to duplicate stereo to 5.1 in my .asoundrc and some code in asound.conf that made sure the correct sound card was used IIRC (I have onboard audio and a separate card). I no longer have the old asound.conf unfortunately.
