Unforunately, Xavier, though the rear speakers are supported under native Alsa, they are not supported with the OSS emulation for Alsa, so only a handful of applications with native Alsa support can make use of the rear speakers.
In addition, the driver defaults to only outputting to the front speakers for Alsa applications, unless otherwise specificed. For example: $ aplay foo.wav This will output to the front speakers. $ aplay -Dhw:0,2 foo.wav This will play foo.wav on the rear speakers. Currently, there is no way to output the same sound file on both the front and rear speakers at the same time.
