6 channel audio on 32bit games


I am running debian lenny 64bit to support my ram. I get 6 channel sound in nexuiz x86_64 but the 32bit games (ETQW and Quake 4) do not work with 6 channel audio. Quake 4 has options default and openAL with a surround sound function that only works on 2 speakers. ETQW has no other options than 2 channel audio. I would like to get 6 channel surround on those two games.

May I ask a simple question ?
What do you mean by surround sound ?
Is sound coming out of 6 speakers surround sound or just sound coming from
6 speakers.
