Title: Playing different tracks with different devices

Is there a way to configure MC to play 2-channel tracks with one playback device, and multi-channel tracks with another playback device ?

You might investigate zones.

Cool - I read the wiki on Zones and the linked threads.
I setup a second Zone called "Multichannel" that uses the motherboard's built-in 7.1 audio as its device, leaving the stereo USB DAC on the original Zone.
What I am still trying to figure out is how to create a "rule" that:

* If Channels = 2 then use Zone 1
* If Channels > 2 then use Zone 2

??

There's a discussion somewhere about a proposed feature implementation auto-targeting particular zones.  I don't believe it has come to fruition yet.
