* The order of the 5.1 channels depends on where you are and on the phase of the moon. You should find out what the particular SW you'd use to make the encoded file expects.
In most formats, the order is the same as in the USB and WAVE channel masks. You should check, but most people seem to be following that set pattern. We too for instance did when working on OggPCM.
* You may have to include two empty channels (or tell your software they are missing if it allows that).
They usually do. Mostly the problem comes when you have two or more channels which don't quite fit the mask and would naturally round to the same channel. That's not going to happen with four channels, though, unless you're working with something like multichannel frontal stereo.
