Get Wavewizard and Aften.
Start Wavewizard, Add --> the six mono WAVs in this sequence L-R-C-LFE-Ls-Rs. In Preferences, select "Ignore Size in Header --> Always", "Stream Manipulation --> Merge Files" and "Output Format: Wave PCM".
Convert.
After it´s done, load the file in Aften (I suggest u to also get Kurtnoise´s Aften GUI, there´s a thread in this forum with all the tools about Aften) and encode to AC3.

Cheers.

Skelsgard's suggestion is a very good one - not a very complicated process. Just involved making a multichannel WAVE using Wavewizard, and then encoding that 6 channel WAVE into an AC3 file using Aften. It will give a decent high quality output as well.

Wavewizard can be found here (http://www.rarewares.org/wavewiz/wavewizardv0.54b.zip).

Aften can be found here (http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/win32builds/aften-0.07-win32-bin.zip?download)

Just do what Skelsgard said to create the multichannel WAVE, and then open up Command Prompt and drag and drop "aften.exe" into it, then press space, then drag and drop the input WAV file, then press space again, then drag the WAV file in again, renaming the extension to ".ac3".

Or - if you know how to use the commandline, here is the program usage:

usage: aften [options] <input.wav> <output.ac3>

That should then give an *.ac3 file output in the same folder as the multichannel WAV file.
