[Bug 40732] Re: totem-gstreamer does not support 5.1 surround sound

[Johann Gile]

I forgot because I'm not familiar with vlc, it gets quite interesting.
If Audio->Audio device is set to 5.1 after opening the file with vlc, both the Dolby and the Ogg test file produce output from all 6 speakers, but the sound is stuttering and vlc spews lots of the following error messages:
alsa error: write failed (Broken pipe)
