I attached the logs.
I added two more:
log-6ch-mplay.txt is from the (working!)
   sndiod -dd -a on -f rsnd/2 -c 0:5 -m play
log-6ch-bz.txt is from (also working!)
   sndiod -dd -a on -b 5280 -z 480 -f rsnd/2 -c 0:5
(with the same buffer- and periodsizes as used by default in non-working 
log-6ch.txt)

(Yes, it was rsnd/2 this time, somehow ALSAs device-order had changed 
after a reboot, possibly due to a kernel update, no idea)
