Please note that this is highly dependent on the audio driver used.
AFAIK, only the jack driver supports multi-channel audio output. All
other drivers (including alsa) can only output a single stereo signal.

This also only applies only to the jack driver. Again AFAIK, for all
other drivers (including alsa), the reverb and chorus signals are
always rendered to the first (and only) stereo output, regardless of
the setting of synth.effects-channels.
