[Bug 11764] New: surround 5.1 sound

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11764

Summary: surround 5.1 sound
           Product: Wine
           Version: 0.9.53.
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: directx-dsound

Winamp with Winamp AC3 Filter 1.01a performs better than Amarok 1.4.
Also the very old game Starcraft has support for surround.
Therefore please give more importance to the following:

Allow DirectSound acces to Alsa, for the rear left, rear right, center and
woofer speakers.

Yes, Linux does support surround. Use "alsamixer" to deactivate the mute
on the other speakers. Use Amarok, Totem, or their base Xine, to test surround.
You have to go to settings, select Xine Engine and select 5.1 surround (in Xine
you should select first "Master of the known universe" :) )

I am attaching an example of a file that the Xine engine cannot play,
but Winamp with Winamp AC3 Filter 1.01a with integrated dts support can.
