You  might have to go with Dan's suggestion if you want to place sounds 
in those channels.  Most likely, the regular spatialization algorithm 
will only use the four corner speakers.

That's for the vertical axis (it lets you place sounds above and below 
the listener.  It probably won't have much effect on the sound you're 
hearing, unless your sound card uses fancy HRTF's (head-related transfer 
functions) for rendering audio, which isn't likely, especially with 
speakers.
