The source code has a TODO file which has not been updated since 2011.
That file contains this item in the to-do list:

    User request:
    -------------
    Add support for multi-channel audio files.
    This will probably require substantial rewriting.
    Some voluteer? If so, add you in the TODO list.

It would appear that alsaplayer does not support multi-channel audio files
(and I assume in this context it really means files with more than two
channels).
