for mixing in surround, u cant use any of these 5.1 systems as they excepct info from a decoder.
u need 6 individual speakers, and a sound card that has that many out puts.
then u mix in your app, and bounce to a AC3 or DTS or wotever compatible stream.
on windows, u can create a 5.1 compatible stream with the Windows Media Audio 9 codec. for free.
everything else is gonna cost you.

hmmm. . .
i'm using digital performer which which supports surround, and an delta 1010 which has 8 invidiv. outs, so i have the outputs covered.
the logitech website says this about the inputs:
Source Inputs
* Digital optical for DVD or CD players, PlayStation®2, Xbox®**
* Digital coaxial for DVD or CD players or PC sound cards (requires coaxial cable, sold separately)
* 6 channel direct (3 stereo-mini connectors) for 2, 4, or 6 channel PC sound cards OR
* 6 channel direct (3 stereo-mini connectors) for 3 stereo analog mini audio sources, like CD and DVD players, Playstation 2, Xbox, or 2 channel PC sound cards (some devices may require stereo mini to dual RCA adapter, sold separately)
* Analog stereo-mini (on side panel of control center) for portable CD, MP3,or MiniDisc® players
that should cover it, no?

now i'm wondering. . . maybe a 5.1 audio system isn't necessary if i already have a sub and two monitors. . . why not just by three more monitors?
how does the subwoofer channel work? Should it simply be the bass from all 5 channels?
