Hello.

Anyone know of how to get 5.1 speaker support in linux?  I've got a
sound card that has an extra port for the rear speakers and I've got a
small 5.1 surround sound speaker set (4 speakers plus a subwoofer). 
Right now I'm using ALSA drivers (I think), but I don't get any sound
out of the rear speakers.  I know they work because I also tested it
under WinXP.  So do I need special drivers for this or is there just
some config file I can edit?

As I've mentioned before, Linux sound is still a bit of a mystery to me
so if anyone has some suggestions...
