I have no idea how to control them independently from the front speakers, but 
I have all five working.

I run ALSA rather than OSS.

I have an RCA cable plugged into a mini headphone jack adapter and then into 
the orange jack on the card.  The other end goes into the digital coax input 
on my el-cheapo home theater.

I have digital out enabled via the mixer.  (Mixers under ALSA are ghastly to 
control.  The only thing I've found that works for me is KAMix, which I had 
to hack to get to compile on Debian.)

I don't know if it's real surround or not, but it sounds good, and all six 
speakers work.

Anyway, probably no use to you other than letting you know it's possible to 
get somewhere.  I guess I'd try ALSA, and if you have an orange jack on your 
home theater or your set of surround speakers or whatever, then use that.  If 
not, I have no clue what remedy you might have.
