5.1 audio output?

On Linux with Jack or Pipewire backends you can route up to 16 channels coming from SupperCollider. In the Sonic Pi script use the sound_out or sound_out_stereo fx, I would think this is the same on Raspberry Pi if you install Jack and QJackCtl?:

    with_fx :sound_out_stereo, output: 3 do
      ...
    end
    
    with_fx :sound_out_stereo, output: 5 do
      ...
    end
    
    with_fx :sound_out_stereo, output: 7 do
      ...
    end

On my system routing looks like this:

Schermafdruk_2023-02-23_15-20-02

Where output 1 and 2 are the default, with_fx :sound_out_stereo, output: 3 sends the output to 3 and 4 and so on.

So it will still be mono going to one channel or stereo going to 2 channels, no true surround sound.
