I saw the polyaudio plugin getting committed, and enhanced in xine-lib,
and I guess the GStreamer plugin is in a good shape as well.

To use polyaudio by default in Totem, I'd need to know whether it
supports 4.0, 4.1 and 5.1 outputs, and, if so, what it does for stereo
(or mono) streams fed to a sound system that has more speakers than
that.
