If the AL_EXT_MCFORMATS extension is available, you can play multi-channel
sources. OpenAL Soft includes that extension, but some other implementations
do too, AFAIK.
Multi-channel output, on the other hand, depends on the user.. if they have
capable hardware (eg. non-ancient sound hardware, and better-than-stereo
speakers), an implementation that can do multi-channel output, and is
configured to do so. The app doesn't really control this.

Use Creative's OpenAL SDK. Install the redistributable, rename OpenAL Soft's
DLL to soft_oal.dll and copy it to the same folder OpenAL32.dll is in. You
don't need anything special. :)
