c-media 8738-MC6

Hi, there

I have a box with cmedia 8738-mc6 pci card. I can get only stereo 
playback with it, while the card is supporting 5.1 channels. Works fine 
on linux using mplayer -channels 6 ...
I've appied the patch from  http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/
I can get the new sampling rates working. Is there any chance I can get 
this card running in multichannel 5.1 mode ?

Regards,
Todor
