Actually, it requires a patched SB Live! (emu10k1) driver. I made a 
patch that adds support for front outputs separate from default stereo 
output and posted it on the ALSA list but it hasn't been accepted, yet. 
I'll make another try and post it again.

The patched driver and modified EMU10K1.conf are needed to support the 
prologic decoder and surround51 output with the same DSP code, since the 
front channels of surround51 shouldn't be routed to the prologic decoder.

We should not use the modified EMU10K1.conf until it's supported by the 
emu10k1 driver in Debian.
