Surround 6ch sound on Wine?

[psychok9]

I use Wine for play World of Warcraft, that support on Windows, 6 channel sounds mixing software.
On Ubuntu 8.04 and Wine i get only stereo output.
I've tried to do this .asoundrc for "force" use on Wine, of 6channels and I don't get any sound.

Code: Select all

pcm.!default {
	type dmix
	ipc_key 1024
	ipc_key_add_uid false # let multiple users share
	ipc_perm 0660 # IPC permissions (octal, default 0600)
	slave {
		pcm "hw:0,0" # see below
		rate 48000
		channels 6
		period_time 0
		period_size 1024
		buffer_time 0
		buffer_size 4096
	}
}

pcm.asym51 {
           type asym
           playback.pcm "dmixs51" 
           capture.pcm "hw:0,0" # this might be "dsnoop:0"
}

pcm.dsp0 {
         type plug
         slave.pcm "asym51"
}

Wine can support 6 channel sound? How can I configure it?
On winecfg i've selected "alsa" and the default output is "dmix" or "default" after i make custom .asoundrc.

Thank You

Did you tested if you have more than stereo sound under anything else under your ubuntu ?
Hardy is using pulseaudio by default (but maybe you have changed it) and from the ubuntu forums it seems the multi channel configuration is not simple.

Looks like Wine should support however many channels application requests and audio driver provides.
Did you tried killing pulseaudio? It's not compatible with Wine
