I've not tried it with PulseAudio so I don't know whether that'll do anything odd, but you'll need that for Firefox now. You can do downmixing and channel mapping in the alsa config too, but it probably wants passing through brutefir to keep the channels in sync, even if it's just adding a delay to match the eq delay. You have a virtual sound device that feeds into BruteFIR, and can be set as the default device so playback from most things should just work. It's not too hard to set up BruteFIR manually with a similar setup to its use in Volumio.

But I'm not sure exactly what the best way to implement this would be (the system has to function effortlessly once set up as it will be used by both me and my girlfriend, who is not up for learning how to operate the unwieldy beast that I know would result if I tackled this project with my current level of expertise). I understand that I can use something like Equaliser APO or BruteFIR to create a crossover for the mains, and possibly to implement other DSP functions like equal loudness correction using dynamic EQ, tone controls, etc.

However, I also have a number of small "full-range" drivers which (it occurred to me) I could use as surrounds for occasional movies or Netflix streamed from the laptop. This would simply require software that acts globally on the output from the PC/Mac to run the output through: volume control -> dynamic EQ -> crossover (FIR-based) -> DAC outputs -> amps -> speaker drivers. a software crossover feeding 6 channels (2 x 3 channels) of a USB DAC. This would require a more "conventional" solution, i.e.

What I basically want to do is to build a pair of 3-way active floorstanders for listening to music.

However, I'm not entirely sure where to start. MiniDSP MiniSharc + 8 channel DAC) of some kind, but I'm now thinking through the software options. I had originally planned to buy a digital signal processor + 6 or 8 channel DAC (e.g. I have a bunch of drivers and amplifier modules lying about that I've been meaning to turn into a pair of speakers for the living room.
