My mistake was to listen to the outputs labeled "rear-left" and
"rear-right"; the outputs for the surround channels are labeled
"side-left" and "side-right".

So, it works on Linux! What's required is Chromium with the FFMpeg
extension, Pulseaudio (with the optional jack sink, when using the
jackd sound server) and a 5.1 sound module.
