With Steam (=PulseAudio) set to 5.1 output I've created two debug logs. The first is from playing a file with 5.1 channels that does not sound right (see below). The second is from trying the same thing with the AE_SINK=Alsa pasuspender -- xbmc command line. In this case, not only are there no navigation sounds from XBMC, but also the GUI freezes and does not react anymore as soon as I select the file and try to play it.

This does not seem like a Gnome bug. It's rather a symptom of the same underlying problem (in this case maybe trying to use rather outdated Debian packages (e.g. PulseAudio) with very recent (Haswell) hardware). I've found some audio files that access each channel sequentially and playing it with XBMC shows the exact same effects as I described for Gnome (i.e. audio that should only appear on the center channel appearing on all channels etc.).
