Only stereo instead true 5.1 sound in WoW

[gutko]

Hi,
Im trying to get WoW to sound the same way as in win xp - i mean in real 5.1 - no duplicating channels etc...
I have 8.04 with recompiled alsa 1.0.17 and Xonar DX card.
Problem is that WoW in Wine 1.1.2 detects only stereo mode as SESound.log file in wow logs says:
8/18 16:22:22.509 - Detected Control Panel Speaker Mode = STEREO
8/18 16:22:22.509 - Setting WoW Speaker Mode to STEREO

but in winxp WoW detects real 5.1 (set to 5.1 in control panel):
8/18 13:31:20.421 - Detected Control Panel Speaker Mode = 5.1
8/18 13:31:20.437 - Setting WoW Speaker Mode to 5.1

And the difference in sorrounding sound is HUGE.

As control panel's settings in Ubuntu are handled by wine i was trying to find number of channels setting in wine registry but with no luck.
Any suggestions where to look next?

that really sucks :(
really wish Blizzard would release a Linux client.. it's not like it would cost them a fortune.. and it's not like they don't have the money.. I don't care if it would be released with NO support, we'd be able to take care of ourselves here :P

Compared to how many new customers they would get I would not be too sure about that.
