Summary:                    Upmix Feature Request
Description: 
Hi,

I, and many users more, want a feature at the alsamixer, called Upmix.
I've got an Terratec Aureon 5.1 Fun and I tried many things, but it's not
able, that I can hear an mp3 with upmixed 5.1 sound. Here is my actual
.asoundrc:

pcm.ch51upmix {
        type route
        slave.pcm surround51
        slave.channels 6
        ttable.0.0 1
        ttable.1.1 1
        ttable.0.2 1
        ttable.1.3 1
        ttable.0.4 0.5
        ttable.1.4 0.5
        ttable.0.5 0.5
        ttable.1.5 0.5
}
pcm.!default
{
        type plug
        slave.pcm ch51upmix
}
pcm.lowpass {
type ladspa
path "/usr/lib/ladspa"
plugins [ {
label lpf
input {
controls [ 50 ]
}
} ]
}


With this .asoundrc, all speakers work, but my subwoofer doesn't play only
low frequen...

Can you please add such a feature?


Greetz, Patrick

it's working, but I haven't got an USB audio card, its an pci card.

the lowpass filter with 50Hz cutoff seem unable to filter the human voice,
I still see peaks above 125Hz on the 10-bands graphic equalizer of
au8830.
