ok, here goes what i did to get sound from all the 4 speakers on my
sblive5.1 ... ( i used 4 speakers ( 2 connected to the front jack, and 2
to the rear jack ))...
alsamixergui:
mute the last culumn: sb-live analog output jack
now alsa:rear and alsa:front should work.
how to test it?
alsaplayer:
get a wav file,
and use:
"alsaplayer -d rear myfile.wav"
xmms:
get xmms-alsa plugin,
and in the xmms plugins configuration select alsa,
device-settings/user-defined:rear (or front)
and try some mp3's
if you don't hear anything, then try to find in alsamixergui the culumn
that regulates the volume for the rear ones ( i think it's somewhere
around surround digital ( the best is to maximize all the culumns :-)
now to test all 4 speakers
get a movie file with ac3 sound
xine:
in the config window select alsa audio,
and select the 4speaker mode or how is it called checkbox
-
now play the file
mplayer:
mplayer myfile.avi -ao alsa9:surround40 -channels 4
if you need more help, reply

That's life for you, said McDunn. Someone always waiting for someone
who never comes home. Always someone loving something more than that
thing loves them. And after awhile you want to destroy whatever
that thing is, so it can't hurt you no more.
