[LAU] Multi-channel (3 or more) audio playback with alsaplayer

[Kamil Adiloglu]

Thank you Chris, David, Giso,
it is disappointing in my case but good to know that alsaplayer does not support multi-channel (3 or more channels) audio playback.I also contacted the developers. Maybe these emails would motivate them to implement this feature in near future ;).

Best,
Kamil
