6track wav to ac3 with aften / channel order

[tilllt]

hey people,

can somebody enlighten me if it is possible to feed a 6 channel wav to AFTEN and what default channel order does aften expect it to be?

i read differing infos between
L R C sL sR lfe
and
L R C lfe sL sR

does anyone know?
any hint would be appreciated.
bye,t.

The order in standard WAV file is: L R C lfe sL sR

ok, the quest goes on. I downloaded this file:
http://www-mmsp.ece.mcgill.ca/documents/audioformats/wave/Samples/Microsoft/6_Channel_ID.wav
which, according to tebasuna51 and justin, the author of aften is in the standard order of 5.1 six track wavs.

i encoded it with the latest git version of aften and send the ac3 to somebody who has a working surround setup, which he checked twice using the soundcard tools speaker test.
the ac3 does not play correctly as the back Left and back Right speakers are not assigned correctly. can somebody check that on his / her surround system?

thankx,
t.

Work fine here.

What is the soundcard tool speaker test used?
How do you decode the ac3?
For what channels sound the BL and BR?
