Hi benjamin, PulseAudio 6.0 has now been released and it includes the multichannel fallback, which should have solved your issue, but apparently it has not.
Could you submit a new PulseAudio verbose log with PA 6.0?

That's too much!" - PA doesn't support elements with more than two channels Status in PulseAudio sound server: Incomplete Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When connecting the Terratec PHASE26 in 16/48 mode (6 channels) I get the error "Volume element PCM has 6 channels. That's too much! I can't handle that!" and the card fails to show up in Sound Settings. Everything is fine with 24/48 mode (2 channels).
