I had a hell of a time figuring out how to get ogle to use 5.1
surround sound correctly with alsa and my sound blaster live card. 
For several configurations I would either get surround sound and no
voices or all sounds in only stereo.  In case anyone else has the
same problem, here is what the relevant sections of
/usr/share/ogle/oglerc need to look like to get ogle, alsa, and
sound blaster live! to play nice together:


  <audio>
    <device>
      <driver>alsa</driver>
      <path>/dev/dsp</path>
      <alsa>
        <name>surround51</name>
      </alsa>
    </device>
    <speakers>  
      <channel_config>
        <chtype>Left</chtype>
        <chtype>Right</chtype>
        <chtype>RearLeft</chtype>
        <chtype>RearRight</chtype>
        <chtype>Center</chtype>
        <chtype>LFE</chtype>
      </channel_config>
    </speakers>
    <liba52>

    </sync>
  </audio>
