I like to use mplayer with "-channels 4 -aop list=surround".  With vobs
and libac3, this produces 4 channel mix via libac3, with the surround
plugin going into passthrough.  Non ac3 files the "channels" switch is
ignored and the surround plugin kicks in.

This doesn't work anymore with liba52 and I don't think your change will
fix that.

I'll test and try to propose an alternative patch.
