While using cubeb, the speaker test will only come out in two channels.
While it might be obvious to some, I should note that HLE doesn't work with Pro Logic II either. (It doesn't get decoded into anything proper.) But that's a totally seperate issue.
Hmm, it's supposed to output surround sound correctly. What version of Windows are you using? And does it work if you tell Windows to output in 5.1 instead? (Maybe it's doing something wrong when trying to match the number of channels).
Yep, HLE doesn't support DPL2 encoding. I'm not sure what it does instead, but, regardless, the final stereo stream can't be properly decoded to 5.1.
