Microsoft has a test WAV file here:

A voice announces the channel mapping. Encoding that to OGG and playing 
it im MPlayer made it a breeze to get the mappings correct.

This is what finally worked:
-af channels=6:6:0:0:1:5:2:1:3:2:4:3:5:4

the channels in the OGG are:
0=left front
1=center front
2=right front
3=left rear
4=right rear
5=sub

and the destinations in MPlayer are:
0=left front
1=right front
2=left rear
3=right rear
4=sub
5=center front


This seems to be consistent with the latest version of oggenc.
