Can sound be output in more than 2 channels?

[pqueiro]

I just got a spiffy new (well, old but just installed, long story) 7.1 sound system for my PC and was wondering if Wesnoth can output to more than 2 channels. I don't expect it'll have "real" surround sound, but I'd like to have, say, the background music coming out of all the speakers for instance. Can it?

Thanks

If your speakers are setup correctly, it already should be coming out of all your speakers... have you tested them with other things? I have a 5.1 setup at the moment, and have no problems on version 1.6a.

The speakers work with DVD's and games - I've tested particularly PES 2008 and WoW - but they don't work, for instance, with flv movies (YouTube and the like). I have been poking around google a bit and there are people with similar setups having issues, but it's always *no* surround in any circumstance and generally solved by installing the correct drivers, which I already have.

I'm playing 1.5.12 however, could that have something to do with it?

edit: Just installed 1.6 and still no sound from the rear speakers =/
