I've been trying to get 5.1 sound working on my linux system. Arch, if it 
matters, pulseaudio 16.16, pulseaudio-alsa 1:1.2.7.1-2. If any other package 
version numbers are needed I'll dig them up. But anyway.

When I play a movie in mpv encoded with 5.1 sound I can't hear dialog, which is 
on it's own channel I guess. I think all channels are turned up in amixer. And 
i'm pretty sure all the speakers are plugged in correctly. Sound comes out of 
all of them with regular 2.1 stereo sound. This is the default audio device in 
mpv.conf:

audio-device=pulse/alsa\_output.pci-0000\_00\_1b.0.analog-surround-51

Do I  maybe need to do some fiddling around in asound.conf or something to get 
surround working?
