Digital audio 5.1 but 2 channels format required

Last Fit-PC revision has S-PDIF digital audio 5.1 channels.
My hifi digital/analog converter can only handle 2 channels S-PDIF :?
(not a home cinema).

Does anyone knows if we can force S-PDIF output on 2 channels only, but without leaving the remaining channels of the 5.1 format blank, I really need only 2 channels format on the output.

I'm quite new to digital audio but I think this can be achieved with the driver (btw it will be a linux OS).
Can you confirm ? (not with a guess but real practice ;) )
