EMU10k1 PCM which is the one which controls all 5.1 channels is just available 
while sound is playing (and is available twice, one for R and one for 
L ) ...... the default PCM, which is always available, just controls front L 
and front R channel ..... (also the default master and wave does control 
that)
and when sound stops from ANYWHERE (xmms new song, an effect in a game is 
played, etc) EMU10k1 PCM resets to 100%
can't do anything about that ..... i already use alsamixer
