Another problem with DVD players is that while most of DVD's Audio content is some flavour of multichannel sound (5.1 or higher), it is difficult to make it work on Linux platform.
If you know that it is simple please tell me - lots of thanks in advance.
I am finding it very difficult to get a true 5.1 output without down-mixing to 2 channels.
I do have a 5.1 channel audio hardware (mobo - Intel D865GBF integrated audio) fully tested with OEM drivers (only windows via dual boot).
I have installed latest ALSA drivers 1.0.9, kernel-smp-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.i686.rpm, VLC, Mplayer, Xine, Totem, gstreamer and what not. FC4 is installed 100% through RPM and there are no unresolved dependencies. Finally and most importantly there is some
5.1 media (content) available for testing the audio.
Kmix gives me an option to select(ed) 6ch and other multichannel settings. But sound output is not available on all 6 speakers. In stereo mode, sound system works for pure pleasure.
Again I thank you for your suggestions in advance and will submit additional specific info required to solve this problem.

True, but recently I found that it does not play mp3surround and HD-WMV. Well that is only for its all round capability. In any case VLC is very good, no doubts. Also mp3surround is not very popular AFAIK and HD-WMV (or equivalent) is likely to be popular.--

After struggling for a while with totem and xine (probably missing
plugins), I've switched to videolan-client (vlc). Plays everything I've
thrown at it so far.
