I assume you are using the MultBeast/ALC898 solution. See Download attachment: -Read_Me_First-898_AppleHDA.pdf from Optimized AppleHDA for Realtek ALC 898 on Lion - New.

For surround sound, see Customizing the Optimized Lion AppleHDA.kext, Note: OS X Surround Sound
For 5.1, see Universal 5.1-channel analogue audio, for 7.1, add the third Line Out, below
To add grey/rear speakers, see Customizing the Optimized Lion AppleHDA.kext, 6. Add Line Out for analog 7.1 Surround Sound
