[MPlayer-users] Re: pan from stereo to surround 5.1

[Damjan Lango]

I am using analog output and OSS drivers.
I am not trying to playback DVD in 5.1 surround, but
normal divx which are just stereo. What I want to do
is to mix left and right channels to the center
speaker, because by default it is silent. I thought
that the "pan" filter could help me with this, but I
found out that I have no idea how to use it because
the documentation is not too helpful in this regard.

Thanks,
Damjan
