Well, AFAIK I have tried almost every option because I edited the
registers directly. Well, I am definately going to give it another try
when ALSA is said to be stable. Until now, the OSS driver produces sound
out of the 4 boxes surrounding me. It may front/right be the same sound
and no center, but I have no applications/movies that really use the 5.1
future.
