This game supports 5.1 only (with BL and BR enabled instead of SL and SR -- the same wrong mapping consistently exhibited by every 5.1-only game tested so far. This is almost-certainly pulseaudio's fault.)

They don't test it. They just assume that if it works in the Windows version, it will work in the Linux version.
How do I know this? They told me when I contacted them about Alien Isolation. Here are some snippets from their reply:
Their surround support is really hit-and miss: Tomb Raider, XCOM? Yes. Alien Isolation, Shadow of Mordor? No. Why the inconsistency? I dunno. It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the age of the game. (Aspyr has similar issues: Civ BE? Yes. Borderlands2? No.)

Shadow of Mordor was really disappointing, becuase it was 40+ gigabytes to download. It took me nearly a week. If they'd noted it on the store page, they could have saved me a lot of time as well as the power needed to keep my desktop continually running for that time, just to download junk I'd be refunding only a few minutes later. The power alone probably cost me an extra $5, at least.

This game has in-game settings for 5.1 and 7.1, but they don't do anything.

One thing I don't experience though is swapped channels, but I only have a 5.1 setup. Since all the audio problems I ever had on linux were PAs fault, I'd default to blaming it :P
(I hate bluez for dropping ALSA support, now there's no way I can get rid of that cancer)
On a side note: the thing I'd care for even more than proper surround audio would be stereo 3D. Tomb Raider apparently supports it on windows judging from the grayed out config flag.

Blender seems to properly output 7.1 to pulse or JACK. Not sure about LFE channel. BGE export works on Linux and Windows for me. Auto-detects 7.1 and gets it right.

First Gold Star! ... but not a game.
