Glad to hear it's a well known problem.

Just upgraded totem, glad to see efforts are being concentrated on the
gstreamer version from now on btw.
I tried two surround videos and the multi-channel test file, but none
of them were playing the rear channels. Fiddling with totem audio
settings to change the surround output setup didn"t help either (do
these settings actually do anything btw ??).

Cheers.
