You could encode your multichannel sound as a Dolby AC-3 stream and 
create a Video DVD using an authoring tool such as DVD Studio Pro. 
(sorry, not sure what authoring tools are best on Windows.)  This 
should play in any consumer DVD player.  Then you need a player with 
multichannel out, or one with digital outs and an external box which 
decodes the stream into multiple channels.

Many authoring packages come with an AC-3 encoder which takes input 
from regular .wav or .aif files.

Alternately, make a DTS encoded stream.  They have a better lossy 
codec than dolby.  (higher data rate tho')
