The FAQ > contains an example of exactly this setup (#27). Ok, so it took me quite a bit of tinkering but I finally figured out what was going on. Your comment above is what finally did it. I was just hoping for something that doesn't seem to be the case (but if it does, please correct me). I thought I had my setup "working" because I could start up audacious and hear sound through all 4 speakers. In fact, this is "broken" since the files I was playing were 2-channel mp3's. But my setup was set so that the rear channels were just a copy of the front channels. I finally got a proper 6-channel test file and played it through mplayer, and I got independent sound from all 4 speakers. (Except that rear left seems to be center, and rear right is subwoofer, but I'm just attributing that to the fact that I've got a 4.1 setup and I'm using a 5.1 test file.) So now the only remaining question is, is it still possible to get the "broken" 4 speaker output for 2-channel files? Is it possible to somehow set up a 2nd combined sink that duplicates the two front channels to the two rear channels while leaving the "functional" combined sink in place? -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
