try vlc with the
--alsa-audio-device default
--alsa-audio-device hw:0,0
It looks like can specify the channel count
(although using '6' to get stereo seems weird.)
>From vlc --longhelp:
--alsa-audio-channels {1 (Mono), 6 (Stereo), 102

4199 (Surround 5.1), 4967 (Surround 7.1)}

Man pages and mailing lists are helpful. There is no way to
configure your system without some knowledge, or willingness
to get experience.

I did a Windows 7 system restore for a friend's notebook
that took forever. Many times more difficult than what
I can do with unix tools like rsync.

No, you will always have issues configuring your system to
suit your hardware, networking environment and personal
needs. You cannot escape some overhead in administering
a system.
