Another way to deal with this problem is to run a digital audio connection
to your amplifier (SPDIF).
When I do this the amp interprets 2 channel sound and will convert to 5.1
automatically (Dolby Surround) and pass 5.1 (Dolby Digital/AC3)
straight through.
Inside my .mplayer/config file I specify:
ac=hwac3,
Which means do AC3 passthrough when possible.
Works great for me :)
