I assume you meant 4 and 8 respectively. What about 3? Incidentally, I notice that in 0.1.0 that when you specify values 5-7 it segfaults, and 8 causes jackd to hang up entirely on my system. I tried the quad layout last night and it sounded good, how have you defined the spatial sense of the surround outputs? Where do you place the virtual listener, and are the rear channels providing mostly non-direct generated from the reverb? Is more of the direct sound in front of the listener? It was hard to tell in my smallish room. jlc
