no, you don't have to(the following applies to sblive):

let's say you have alsa9.

now:
let's say you have 4speakers:
mplayer -ao alsa9:surround40 -channels 4

if you have 6speakers:
mplayer -ao alsa9:surround51 -channels 6

if you have oss:
4speakers:
mplayer -ao oss -channels 4

6speakers:
mplayer -ao oss -channels 6

(now finding the usable mixer bars in the alsa-mixer is a different
story... you have to use:Master,Wave,PCM,Wave-surround,Surround-digital)

bye,
gabor
