Bug ID: 37957
           Summary: No way to disable "surround sound"
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.35
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dsound

Since 1.7.34, wine supports surround audio. It appears to determine the number
of speakers to use by directly querying alsa at some level. I have only two
speakers plugged in to my soundcard, but wine decides I have 6. The result of
this is that I can only hear what people say in Skyrim if I look to the side
since I have no "center" speaker. Please default to 2 speakers or provide some
incredibly obvious knob somewhere to disable this. I also tried specifying my
default alsa pcm device as having 2 channels but this didn't help.
