Stereo to 5.1 upmixing with pipewire

Hi,

couldn't find anything current like this for debian based systems.

I am running on debian testing and I've been trying to get stereo (and anything below 5.1) to be upmixed to 5.1, or at least play stereo stuff on front and rear L+R not just front L+R.
Bonus for downmixing stuff above 5.1...

This solution seemed promising: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/pipewire-re ... -5-1/84774
but the result was no sound at all. pavucontrol said it cannot connect to pulseaudio. The "sytemctl --user pipewire*" sevices all seemed fine, but no sound. Deleting the new config restored previous functionality.

Unfortunately i am not well versed in linux-audio (or audio in general) related stuff, so my google foo has failed me ;(

Does anyone have an idea how to accomplish this configuration?

greetings
