If this is a "native" 5.1 channel WMA file it will not play on the
SqueezeBox. It might play the front 2 channels but I doubt it.

If it contains avalid DTS stream within the WMA it cannot be a lossy
WMA file (it would have to be lossless, but the DTS stream held within
would be lossy). And it would have to feed a receiver or preamp that
would decode it (DTS). Getting DTS streams off DVD's or DVD-A is not
trivial. See other threads on this. Once you have a Valid DTS stream (a
wave file usually) you can wrap in in WMA Lossless, Flac Lossless or any
other lossless format the SqueezeBox supports.
