Summary: 5.1 doesn't work
Description:
I'm new to linux. I've been googling for a awnser to this problem for a
week now. found a few with the same sort of problems but no awnsers.

I can get sterio sound but not 5.1 surround. This is very irritating as I
bought a Audity2 soundcard for the purpose of using it's 5.1 sound
capability.

initially xine kept telling me that another process was using the PCM
device. found how to fix this. using

followed the Alsa setup instructions.
detected correctly (SB0400)

can only seem to use it in sterio or (with fixes) fake 5.1 (which is
really sterio duplicated).

2.6.11 is way too old for such a new device. Try a newer kernel.
