As per the image attached above, I discovered that multistreaming on my
motherboard is possible under Windows 7. The options only became available when
I had the headphones physically connected. However, I have yet to figure out
any way to achieve the same thing under my Ubuntu 10.04 system. I've been
messing around with it and searching for hours without success.

I did notice in alsamixer a Headphone option. If I connect headphones to the
front of my case and leave that box ticked while playing audio in mplayer, I
get the same audio stream simultaneously sent to both my front speakers and my
headphones.

If I leave headphones enabled but mute the front speaker channel, both stop
working. If I untick the headphone checkbox, both the headphones and front
speaker channel also stop working. It certainly looks like these are both
sharing the same channel, and I can't see any possible way I could redirect
audio to one specific set of speakers. This is all aplay shows (aside from some
other "surroundXX" plugs that seem unlikely to be useful):

$ aplay -L
null
    Discard all samples (playback) or generate zero samples (capture)
pulse
    Playback/recording through the PulseAudio sound server
front:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
    HDA Intel, ALC889 Analog
    Front speakers
...
surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
    HDA Intel, ALC889 Analog
    5.1 Surround output to Front, Center, Rear and Subwoofer speakers
...
iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
    HDA Intel, ALC889 Digital
    IEC958 (S/PDIF) Digital Audio Output
$ 

Would attaching anything else in particular be useful?
