- the problem is known (playing a 5.1 track on stereo headphones
sounds weird)
- mpv and mplayer have and workaround for it: an option to
turn on downmixing
- having to turn on downmixing manually in every single
program is not OK
In other words, with the OpenBSD defaults, if you play a movie with a
5.1 audio stream, audio should be acceptable on headphones without
manual tweaks.

This thread was about downmixing surround to stereo.
But, assuming you've the 5.1-capable audio interface (and all the
speakers), what happens when you do:
rcctl set sndiod flags -c0:5
rcctl restart sndiod
then:
mpv /path/movie_with_5.1_audio.mp4
You should get surround audio. If certain speakers don't work, send me
your dmesg and the output of audioctl during playback
