On Linux, you do:
	export SDL_AUDIODRIVER=<drivername>

Dunno.

No, but on Linux and using the Alsa sound driver, it could.  Support
for other systems would only require modifying other sound drivers.
I made a set of patches early this summer for 4/6 channel support.
They're at ftp://ling.lll.hawaii.edu/pub/greg/Surround-SDL.tgz.

I worked at improving the support for 4/6 channels off and on this
summer, but I've given it up now, since no one seems to be interested.
