Forget it, its not usable, better look into ambisonics. But thats almost 
unknown...

AC3 is not for making music, its for distributing soundtracks. And 
squeeze them to the rest of the space of a DVD. The format forces you to 
setup speakers in a musically uninteresting way, 5.1 is for homecinema 
dummies (though it would work for 4-channels)...

EAX is for gamers to give them the ultimate kick, there is almost no 
technical info about it available, it seems to be just a 3d reverb to 
spacialize sound effects. Not a distribution format, not a standard 
either...

If I go multichannel I use 6-8 speakers...

I would prefer 2*5.1 - would give me 10 channels...
