When find_matching_chmap() returns an error for the non-matching
chmap, the caller, snd_pcm_route_open(), also returns an error
although it shouldn't be handled as the fatal error.  This results in
the probe error with PulseAudio and it gives no real output in the
end.

Hmm, could you give a more specific example? In case the driver does not
support channel maps at all, that case is handled in the beginning of
the function.

So this only happens if the driver supports channel maps, but only
non-compatible with the requested map. In which case I believe it's
correct that the probing should fail...?

Well, the problem is that PulseAudio doesn't work at all with the
current alsa-lib git prior to the commit in some cases.  That is, the
commit brought some incompatibility.

Could you check whether PA 5.0 works as is with alsa-lib git (before
the last fix)?  It could be seen on some desktop machines.
