If you know something about Alsa, you could reroute the speaker-channels inside the asound.conf configuration.

Try the following setup:

asound.conf:

Code:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave {
pcm "triple"
}
}

pcm.triple {
type route
slave {
pcm multi
channels 6
}
ttable.0.0 1.0
ttable.1.1 1.0
ttable.0.2 1.0
ttable.1.3 1.0
ttable.0.4 1.0
ttable.1.5 1.0
}

pcm.multi {
type multi
slaves.a {
pcm "tv"
channels 2
}
slaves.b {
pcm "receiver"
channels 2
}
slaves.c {
pcm "analog"
channels 2
}
bindings.0.slave a
bindings.0.channel 0
bindings.1.slave a
bindings.1.channel 1
bindings.2.slave b
bindings.2.channel 0
bindings.3.slave b
bindings.3.channel 1
bindings.4.slave c
bindings.4.channel 0
bindings.5.slave c
bindings.5.channel 1
}

pcm.tv {
type hw
card 0
device 3
channels 2
}

pcm.receiver {
type hw
card 1
device 1
channels 2
}

pcm.analog {
type hw
card 1
device 0
channels 2
}

And settings for XBMC:

Code:

HDMI

Custom:
pcm.triple

Custom:
pcm.triple

This will give similar audio over HDMI, analog and optical. And the speaker config should be rerouted.
