Re: getting 3 stereo dsp devices from a 5.1 sound card

I recommend using JACK for that to get this going fast and easy. You can set up a virtual JACK soundcard like this:

http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php/Jack_(plugin)

For you it should look like this:

pcm.!default {
type plug
slave { pcm "jack" }
}

pcm.jack {
type jack
playback_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:playback_1
1 alsa_pcm:playback_2
2 alsa_pcm:playback_3
3 alsa_pcm:playback_4
4 alsa_pcm:playback_5
5 alsa_pcm:playback_6

}
capture_ports {
0 alsa_pcm:capture_1
1 alsa_pcm:capture_2
}
}

ctl.mixer0 {
type hw
card 0
}
Because you have 6 playback ports.

Then you can wire your software playback devices to the virtual JACK soundcard in QJackCtl.

Hope this helps...
