Sorry for the constant posting, I just forgot to include something before.

I have gotten alsa configured such that "aplay chad-id.wav" will work.
Basically it says "left -front" and it should come from the left-front
speaker.
Well the fix for that was I changed my ~/.asoundrc file with this

pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "surround51"
        slave.channels 6
        route_policy duplicate
}

However, that didn't solve my front and back speaker problem, it still
seems that i can only pan left to right... front and back fadding only
makes it louder or softer in both front and back at the same time.

any thoughts?
