Audio software with highly-configurable audio output....

I have a sound rack with 8 audio outputs, and a 5.1 HT speaker system (powered by a Sony receiver). I am looking for a program that will allow me to output stereo music to 2 stereo sets (fronts & surrounds), and preferably a mono version of the music to the sub channel and center channel (center channel is certainly not necessary)... this means I need to be able to assign at least 5 channels of audio to my choice of outputs. I am willing to use any method necessary to do this... thus far I have only been able to find software that uses 2 stereo sets (fronts and surrounds, without the sub). A program that can use ASIO is preferred.

I know I can do this with Winamp using multiple instances (3 instances), but I don't know how I can control all the Winamp instances simultaneously so that the music playback is in sync. A means to do this would also work.

It would be easier if my receiver (STR-DE875) had an option for unprocessed audio to fronts/surrounds/sub, but I have only been able to configure it for fronts/sub if the signal is to remain unprocessed by the receiver's DSP, so I have resorted to using the Multi-Channel-In option.

I have spent many hours researching this, and any help will be appreciated.😕
 

from all audio software player and editor that I tried... not that I know of :/
actually, I doubt if there's any.
 
If you're using a supported sound card, you could try using the kX project drivers to do what you want to do. It'd be a lot of work though.

With my nForce2, I just enabled the 6 speaker output, and the driver automatically took care of duplicating the channels as appropriate.

The other solution would be to simply use a bunch of RCA Y-splitters to get the desired effect. That's what I'd try first.
 
Thanks for the input =). I had seen the KX drivers, but have huge doubts as to whether they'd work with this hardware (WamiRack 24 audio card/rack), but now I think I will give it a try. Anyone have any more info on controlling multiple Winamp instances simultaneously? Is it possible to do with scripts?
