If I get around to - or we get some developer input (hint-hint) - immersing myself into OpenAL .. it's possible - AFAIK the current implementation already should be fully directional .. but as I said, I'd need to get into (meaning DEEPLY) that part of the engine myself first before I can claim any definitive response; driAn wrote that code and I've only done minor tweaks so far. There are several issues that need to be addressed here, so 5.1 support will not be anywhere near the top of the list.
A quick search shows that a possible problem for anybody with a 5.1-capable card and sound-system not yet experiencing directional sound (as I said I think they already should) could be that their system is mal-configured.
