I suppose I would listen to audio from my Debian box, connecting it to a sound
interface as Behringer or similar. Or also maybe to some 5.1 audio card?
send each of the four channels into a different
loudspeaker and so listen to the song...? Do you think, e.g., the Behringer
UMC404HD audio interface will allow to do that?

If the Behringer has four outputs or more, yes.
Question is: do you just want to listen to audio in a kind of player or
listen from a DAW? Do you know whether you want output to ALSA,
PulseAudio or JACK?
Some years ago on debian.user mailing list it was suggested that "ecasound" can
do that, with ALSA:
$ ecasound -i:3ch.wav -f:16,3,44100 -o:alsa,default
Now I wish to be sure Behringer UMC404HD will allow me to do that before I
purchase it. It is claimed to have 4 outputs, but its output system looks
quite complicated: on the back of the device it shows `PLAYBACK OUTPUTS': two
white, two red and four black outputs. Further on the right, one more couple
of black entries, L and R, and then MAIN OUT. How could I use all those to
achieve what I'm looking for?
Thanks,
Rodolfo
