No - but the Sound Manager has the SAME limitation. SM can mix multiple
sources, but each of those sources can at most be stereo and it will only
mix to stereo. QT uses the SM to play sound, thus has this limitation
inherited from it.

There was an ability on OS 9 with sound sprockets to do some kind of 3D
stuff - but this isn't on X (or Win).

If you're doing multichannel stuff, then you should use Core Audio on X (X
only). It also publishes a java API and a has its own email list
(CoreAudio-API) at lists.apple.com if that's of interest
