Elisa currently doesnt seem to support multichannel audio playback.
Playback an audio or video file containing multichannel audio on a multichannel audio system
(e.g. this one with 5.1 ac3 audio: http://www.tfm.ro/ac3/)
what should happen?
every speaker should be addressed discretely
what happens?
the 5.1 signal is mixed down to stereo
I propose including a way to tell elisa what type of sound system is connected so multichannel audio can be played correctly. This could be in the GUI or in the config file. I think this is crucial to a home cinema system.

tested with elisa 0.5.8 on kubuntu linux 8.04
(playback also tested with xine and mplayer - everything worked) |

I forgot to mention that this only appears when using alsa directly, with pulseaudio everything woks fine. |
