Is there some page that describes the location of each channel given a specified amount of channels? For example, 1 channel is on top of you, but 2 channel is right and left of you. What is the layouts for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, etc channels?

If found this
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surround_sound
Is this the exact representation of wave files output, also what channel is what here?
What are you looking for? The 5.1 setup looks correct.
One center speed in front of you, two speakers to the top-left and top-right and two rear speakers to the rear-right and rear-left and the subwoofer somewhere.
Basically, it's surround, so the speakers should surround you.
For 7.1, you have a 5.1 setup plus two speakers to the left and right of you.

Ah, I think I get it now.
Technical data about wave file layout.
That's a bit trickier...
