The 5.1 audio stream does play while the stereo stream goes quiet? Does 
the stereo stream come back when the 5.1 stream ends? Do the sources 
continue to increment their offset (querying the AL_SAMPLE_OFFSET source 
property) when both are supposed to be playing?

There shouldn't be any problem with playing a 5.1 and stereo stream at 
the same time. The first thing I'd try is to update OpenAL Soft; the 
most recent version is 1.16.
