Why does aplay take a sound, such as Front_Right.wav and play it over 
both speakers?

for example:

#cd /usr/share/sounds/asla
#aplay Front_Right.wav

- The sound comes out both the speakers I have connected to my card.

Whereas speaker-test can keep the speakers separate:

#speaker-test -c6 -tsine -f800

- this produces a fuzz sound, but it will cycle through all five 
channels of my sound card. I am currently listening to two of them 
and the sound is on one speaker, and then the other.

I have a SoundBlaster Live! 24-bit 7.1 card.
the driver is snd-ca0106

I compiled ALSA 1.0.9rc4 (driver, lib, util, but not the tools)
My kernel is 2.6.8-2.386

Any help would be appreciated.
