[PD] 5.1 sound from quicktime video files

hi

quick question a bit on a hurry ...

is there any way to get control over sound from three quicktime video files in order to send each to a different output in a 5.1 video system? I have three different video projections and need to position each of the video sounds in a different area of the space.

as far as I understand this would be impossible as quicktime video play in GEM does not offer any control over sound because only under mac you get the sound played, and this is in fact just done by the QT system and not by PD

if all this is not possible withing PD, any suggestions on how to achieve this? I am thinking about launching the videos with for instance VLC and routing the audio by some means into PD or something similar.

thanks
