Public bug reported: Since my upgrade yesterday, it doesn't play 5.1 any longer, but 'mirrors' everything to the front. Sytem Settings->Multimedia->Phonon->Audio Hardware Setup shows the 'Speaker Placement and Testing', and when I click on the locations, all do a great job. Mplayer however doesn't. And there are some good (?) reasons:

I have selected the medibuntu repository for oneiric, and uninstalled/reinstalled mplayer.
