Of course not. But what you can do is compute how the sound would come

Does anyone have any experience with the bose companion 5? Is it known to
work with the usb-audio driver? Is the sound really 5.1?
I saw that OSS has some bose specific support in oss/cs4232.c. Didn't see
anything in the alsa sources though...might that

Ok, say I'd be willing to pay 2k max for a complete 5.1 setup

Bose is known to color sound in a certain way. Its called the bose

Wanting optimal sound at 400$ plus surround sound is ludicrous. You
