I can use the device for the first time! :) I haven't read the entire thread yet, but it's very late and I need to get some sleep. Getting 6ch/5.1 playback functionality (and probably stereo input) is what I wanted from PulseAudio. (If really want to make use of all channels I'd look into JACK.) I will come back once I looked deeper into this.
Wow, thank you very much Alexander. I followed David's suggestion for a workaround (http:// lists.freedeskt op.org/ archives/ pulseaudio- discuss/ 2014-January/ 019748. html) to create the multichannel.conf profile and added the following to /lib/udev/ rules.d/ 90-pulseaudio. rules:
# Behringer FCA610 =="1397" , ATTRS{idProduct }=="0003" , ENV{PULSE_ PROFILE_ SET}="multichan nel.conf"
ATTRS{idVendor}
