It works natively on Linux, but has strangely switched Rear, Center and LFE
channels. I also lowered the front channels somewhat, and ended up with the
following asound.conf:


# Terratec Aureon USB 5.1 MKII - software mixed, multiple access
# in output only
pcm.dmix51 {
  type dmix
  ipc_key 12347
  slave {
    pcm "hw:2,0"
    channels 6
  }
}

pcm.aureon {
  type route
  slave.pcm "dmix51"
  slave.channels 6
  # Front Left
  ttable.0.0 0.7
  # Front Right
  ttable.1.1 0.7
  # Rear Left
  ttable.2.4 1.0
  # Rear Right
  ttable.3.5 1.0
  # Center
  ttable.4.2 1.0
  # LFE
  ttable.5.3 1.0
}

ctl.aureon {
  type hw
  card 2
}

Right, got mine on eBay for a song, and it has been working flawlessly for
hearing music and watching 5.1 movies.
