Easy way to configure surround sound

Registered by Damián Gómez

Easy way to configure surround sound.

At the moment, it is only possible editing ~/.asoundrc, but is too complicated for unexperienced users.

A GUI will be great. It will allow us configure our sound card to watch DVD and files using AC3, and appropiated speakers.
