Once you have converted your project to 5.1 surround, you'll notice that instead of just a pan (Left - Right) control on the sound tracks, there is a box where you can drag the sound. It has a small icon showing where the sound is in relation to the listener. Right clicking that box gives several options of what type of surround you want. There are loads of ways to achieve a sound moving around, including real-time recording and mixing. Remember though, to hear the results you have to have a 5.1 surround card and speaker system set up. Remember also that a particular sound, perhaps an aircraft engine going overhead front to back, will be better if recorded independently so you can move it independently. You might just finish up moving the whole soundtrack otherwise.
