That's cute, but in order to not confuse you need to replace smiley-guy with a head seen from the back, i.e., someone looking towards the front, not back.
And maybe put a display in front too.

Well, that head/face is really confusing. It "sits" back to front. You look behind it and you see front speaker there...
Is this going to be in gnome 2.30? Will this be in Ubuntu 10.04?

Why not have a round-robin test, like many surround amplifiers have? It plays an ocean sound out of the front left, then switches to centre after a couple of seconds, then to front-right, etc. So you can check all your speakers with just one click.

Yeah and you smell bad!
;-)
Seriously, looks like lovely work. Perhaps a top-down view of a chair would be more clear, though.

The back of a smiley face would look.. pretty barren. Instead just flip the placement of the speaker icons.

This would mean front speakers on bottom and back speakers on top. That's again not what user generally expects :P
You expect yourself to be that funny smile on center. And you want something above of it to be ahead of you :)

Yeah, you're right on that. Time to ditch the smiley then.

I think another problem with the smiley is, it has no ears.

Awesome. :)
