I tried to do something like that  with jackd and ac3jack[1] but ac3jack
segfaulted on my system. It seems that is not maintained or has some
incompatibilities with latest versiones of Alsa.
With qjackctl[2] is possible to plug the streams visually to different
effects. Jack seems very cool for processing audio in realtime but I got
not much luck with it.
I tried to convert an stereo stream to a fake surround on the fly but then
I realised that with my new speakers, Logitech z5500[3], set to do
Dolby prologic I got some fake surround sound when using spdif as
output.
I think you could try routing the sound to Jack, process the sound with some
LADSPA plugins and finally output to ac3jack to reencode to AC3.
