Hi, We are still having issues resolving how to deal with Surround sound and ALSA in GStreamer. If anyone knowledgeable about ALSA would be willing to comment on this bug: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=410403

We would much appreciate it.

Not sure what actually the code is doing, but does simply aplay work on that system?

% aplay -D surround51:0 foo.wav

or

% aplay -D plug:surround51:0 foo.wav

The 5.1 output is sensible to devices, so it's helpful to know what hardware is used, too.
