hey, this worked straight away :)

But there seems to be something wrong with the channel mapping.

For stereo (speaker-test -c 2) the mapping is correct.

But for -c 4 and -c 8 it gets weird:
speaker-test -c 4 -s X # where X is 1-4
1: Front Left is Rear Left
2: Front Right is Rear Right
3: Rear Right is Front Right
4: Rear Left is Front Left

speaker-test -c 8 -s X # where X is 1-8
1: Front Left is Rear Left
2: Center is Rear Left
3: Front Right is Rear Right
4: Side Right is Front Right
5: Rear Right is silent
6: Rear Left is Center
7: Side Left is Front Left
8: LFE - Rear Right

I think you need to check what channel order ALSA expects. I believe
speaker-test does the right thing on my HTPC normally connected to my
receiver.

Note: I am not 100% sure about the -c 8 results. I might have to do
the test again.

Tested on VAR-DVK-OM44 (OMAP4460) with Yamaha RX-A1030 Surround receiver.
