Do you actually need to pick exactly one speaker?  If not, the existing 
7.1 panning algorithm should be fine.  Just set the position of the 
sound source relative to the listener, and it will automatically render 
the sound on the appropriate speakers.

If you do actually need to pick a single speaker, you'll have to do what 
we talked about earlier, and create a multi-channel stream on the fly.  
This will be a lot more work, though.

Maybe you should talk a little about what you're trying to accomplish at 
a high level.  We might be able to focus a little better that way.
