Specific a52 alsa-plugin question

I put this in my /etc/asound.conf

ctl.!default {
    type plug:surroundaudio
}

pcm.a52encode {
    type a52
    format S16_LE
    channels 6
    rate 48000
    bitrate 448
}

pcm.surroundaudio a52encode

ctl.surroundaudio {
    type hw
    card 0
    device 1
}

( source https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/ALSA#S.2FP … al_Coaxial )

But I only get this:

$ speaker-test -Dsurroundaudio -c 6

speaker-test 1.0.29

Playback device is surroundaudio
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 6 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Access type not available for playback: Invalid argument
Setting of hwparams failed: Invalid argument

Aynone has an idea what could be missing?
