Using the "front" and "rear" devices for separate outputs should already
work.  If your application uses a sample format not supported by the
hardware, use "plug:front" and "plug:rear".

To output a stereo stream to both front and rear speaker pairs, put the
following into /etc/asound.conf:

pcm.stereosurround {
        @args [ CARD ]
        @args.CARD {
                type string
        }
        type route
        slave {
                pcm {
                        @func concat
                        strings [ "surround40:CARD=" $CARD ]
                }
                channels 4
        }
        ttable [
                [ 1 0 1 0 ]
                [ 0 1 0 1 ]
        ]
}

and tell xmms or aplay to use device "stereosurround:0" (or
"plug:stereosurround:0").  ("0" is the card number.)
