So. I update my alsa-drivers, -lib , -utils to 1.0.11rc1 - right now my
Live 5.1 detect correctly, but problem with alsamixer is stay:

kernel 2.6.14 , when i execute "alsamixer" get a next message:

ALSA lib simple_none.c:1218:(simple_add1) helem (MIXER,'Front Playback 
Volume',0,0,0) appears twice or more

alsamixer: function snd_mixer_load failed: Invalid argument

and alsamixer don't run, same with amixer.

And silence from my rear speakers after update, early i has a copy of
front speakers on it.
    

Make sure that you have no other libasound.so.  For example, FC4
installs its own one to /lib while alsa-lib package installs to
/usr/lib as default.
