Unless you have a SbLive 5.1 with an additional center speaker
it is better you use 4 channel mode. Search for following
two lines in your .xinerc:

four_channel:1
five_channel:0

If they are different (I guess they are) modify them.

With regard to the error messages I do not know much about
DivX playback. I even get similar messages when playing back
some DVDs. If the 

> audio_oss_out: inserting 35890 0-bytes to fill a gap of 6731 pts

message also appears in stereo mode with the usual emu10k1 driver,
then I can't do very much about it. Can you verify that?

Obviously, the CVS version still has its rough edges. But the
multichannel feature itself seems to work.
