Thank you for your advice. I tried, and when I tried to
play 5.1ch wav file it says
"Windows Media Player encountered unknown error"
and stops. It happens with or without the plugin I'm
trying to make. Is there any particular way of writing the
plugin (at the moment I'm writing 2ch output in the first
2 out of the 6 channels)?
