Thanks! Both of those work. I guess surround40 is the way to go.

Now, I guess I want to set this system-wide, and preferably also using 
dmix. Is this a sensible thing to do, or will applications automatically 
use the correct surroundXY mixer on their own?

I tried this asoundrc: (the one on the ALSA wiki with the slave pcm 
changed to surround40)

-------------------------------------------------------
pcm.!default {
	type plug
	slave.pcm "dmixer"
}


pcm.dmixer  {
	type dmix
	ipc_key 1024
	slave {
	    pcm "surround40"
	    period_time 0
	    period_size 1024
	    buffer_size 4096
	    rate 44100
	}
	bindings {
	    0 0
	    1 1
	}
}

ctl.dmixer {
	type hw
	card 0
}
-------------------------------------------------------

However it didn't work:

ALSA lib pcm_dmix.c:869:(snd_pcm_dmix_open) dmix plugin can be only 
connected to hw plugin


Thanks,
Daniel
