Good DVD Player

[Anil Kumar Sharma]

Another problem with DVD players is that while most of DVD's Audio content
is some flavour of multichannel sound (5.1 or higher), it is difficult to
make it work on Linux platform.
If you know that it is simple please tell me - lots of thanks in advance.
 I am finding it very difficult to get a true 5.1 output without down-mixing
to 2 channels.
I do have a 5.1 channel audio hardware (mobo - Intel D865GBF integrated
audio) fully tested with OEM drivers (only windows via dual boot).
I have installed latest ALSA drivers 1.0.9,
kernel-smp-2.6.13-1.1526_FC4.i686.rpm, VLC, Mplayer, Xine, Totem, gstreamer
and what not. FC4 is installed 100% through RPM and there are no unresolved
dependencies. Finally and most importantly there is some 5.1 media (content)
available for testing the audio.
Kmix gives me an option to select(ed) 6ch and other multichannel settings.
But sound output is not available on all 6 speakers. In stereo mode, sound
system works for pure pleasure.
 Again I thank you for your suggestions in advance and will submit
additional specific info required to solve this problem.
