    Hi!

    How does one use the extra channels on a six channel card ?
    I can only hear the 2 front speakers.

    I remember on a es1370 card, that I had an extra /dev/dsp1 for the rear speaker
    pair, but with an on board VIA audio there is only one /dev/dsp.

    I also tried playing a 6 channel sound file with sox, but still only the front
    speakers make sound.

    Any clues ?

    HW is VIA 8235 + Realtek ALC650
    kernel 2.6.8-debian
    driver is OSS via82xxxx ( I'm willing to switch to ALSA, but a quick look says
    it is the same there ).

    Ideally I would want a second stereo /dev/dsp1, that would produce sound on the
    rear speakers.

    Thanks for any help,
    David
