The problem you'd have with getting surround out of that file, I
suspect, is that the SqueezeBox only decodes to 2 channels, as far as I
know.  If you decode it on the server you may have the same problem; or
maybe you can decode all 6 channels, but then the SB won't know what to
do with more than 2 of them (and may barf on being sent the other 4!).

The way the SB handles DTS/DD (from a DVD) at the moment is to pass
them straight through to a receiver which can decode those formats. 
(We trick the SB into thinking the files are 16-bit PCM stereo, using
IEC61937 to encapsulate the data, and it's passed right through.)  If
you have a receiver which can understand the WMA format, I'm sure it
would be possible to use the same trick -- with a little research to
discover how to apply that IEC61937 transformation.
