Applications that have support 5.1 channel support, work only with Wine and I also need because they work better than GNU/Linux applications for a specific task:
-WinampAC3Filter plugin for Winamp (Winamp is the only application that has a decent playlist with perfectly optimized controls imho - I mean I can set the imput plugins to display something like "Artist - Album - string of my choosing.filetype - another string of my choosing") -older games that rely much on multichannel to inform the player of the position of things all around like: Counter Strike, Star Trek Armada II, Homeworld 1 2, Giants - Citizen Kabuto, Command and Conquer 1 2 3 -take utorrent for example - the programmers use the Wine platform to make sure it will work very well in Windows. Programmers may (imho they already) use Wine to check games for Windows and even compiling them using Wine libraries to make them go faster and smoother and would be very happy to not have to load Windows instead of Wine just to test if multichannel sounds work properly -I am sure I will have more and more needs to use multichannel in Wine as time passes (for example 3D max Studio or Adobe * - make movies in multichannel and view them without rendering just to check sounds) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/344588 Title: Wine doesn't support 5.1 and 7.1 sound -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
