To play 5.1 content on stereo speakers, does one need the media player to downmix it? Some players by default like VLC indicate that 5.1 audio is played as stereo as it uses "windows default" while others like mpc just play it as 5.1 unless you tell it otherwise. Is it best to have the media player or its filters downmix or just have the speakers/sound card do that automatically? using x-fi.

Don't have any experience with this particular audio card but seems that it will work outside MS DRM scheme.
