Surround sound possibility?

Thank you for the response!  You have a lot of good suggestions and
hopefully we will be able to work around the problem.

Possibly, you could fiddle around with multiple stereo .wav files being played on different audio devices, but I do not even know whether E-Prime supports multiple audio devices, and perhaps you're not immediately willing to get the hardware required. There are, of course, an infinite possible ways around this problem, such as using two computers (letting them communicate over LAN or serial cable within E-Prime), trying to play multi-channel encoded films in E-Prime 2 (I have no idea whether that is possible, though) &c, but I think it will probably be easiest to switch to something more multimedia-oriented... I've successfully ran studies that don't require brilliant timing in Flash, for instance.

I have configured my computer with the four speakers, and created four .wav files, each playing out of a different speaker.  However, since these are not stereo files, they require 6 channels.
