Description Sven Herzberg 2005-02-04 10:28:14 UTC 
It would be very cool if GStreamer allows people to write a small application
that  speaks some words on the different boxes of a surround system (e.g. "left
rear box" on the left rear box). This would be useful to check the installation
of the audio system.

I guess a testsource could be written for this. But basically playing some of
the standard 6channel testfiles available should accomplish the same thing.
Comment 2 Ronald Bultje 2005-02-06 22:11:58 UTC 
No. But I'm working on this in gnome-media...
Comment 3 Matt MacLeod 2005-11-03 23:40:09 UTC 
I just tried some test files on my setup, and am having some problems (my
speakers are set to the right channels in Windows). I got different (but both
incorrect) results with gstreamer and xine for a 6 channel test ogg, and the wma
test only ran in xine and cut off early.

This applet would definitely be a good thing to have. I've been able to have all
my speakers work in linux for a while (more recently without any tweaking), but
whether or not I'm getting upmixed 2 channel or real 5.1 has always been a bit
up in the air.

Should be in the sound capplet in the control-center.
