#418 smplayer 0.6.9 5.1 sound is decoded wrong

[Lexxa]

When playing *.mkv files with 5.1 sound some tracks cannot be heard (speech and some frontal sounds mostly). It appears like a person is talking but no sound comes of it. Soundtrack and some surround noises are playing fine at the same moment.

When I change audio output to anything other than 5.1, the problem disappears. Smplayer 0.6.8 doesn't have this problem.

I encountered this only on newer encodes (Jonah.Hex.2010.Bluray.720p.DTS.x264-CHD or Splice.1080p.BluRay.x264-MACHD) some older encodes I tried work fine.

My system is Ubuntu 10.04.
