emu10k1 [ao/alsa] Unable to set hw-parameters: Cannot allocate memory

Probably related to the latest kernel update [base]. It used to work just fine.
Creative SB Live 5.1.  It has hardware mixing and it seems it doesn't work anymore.
Now can play only one source at a time, get that error otherwise.
This error is mpv's log. But others seems to fail too. i.e wine and the rest.
How can one debug this issue?

/etc/asound.conf
i've been using just
some ch routing that's all

defaults.pcm.rate_converter "samplerate_best"

ctl.!default {
type hw
card 0
}

pcm.snd {
    slave.pcm surround51
    slave.channels 6
    type route
    ttable.0.0 1
    ttable.1.1 1
    ttable.0.2 0.5
    ttable.1.3 0.5
    ttable.4.4 0.75
    ttable.5.5 1
}

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "snd"
}

Restore previous kernel from /var/cache/pacman/pkg to verify, report bug to ALSA or play with git-bisect yourself.
