The squeezebox can play many formats, and my understanding is that it is possible to rip surround files and play them back via a squeezebox. In this case you would need a 5.1 or 7.5 receiver hooked up to each squeezebox. It is my understanding that most multizone receivers do NOT send 5.1 or 7.1 audio to multiple zones. Rather they send 2 channels to a second zone. If you want 5.1 or 7.1 sound in two locations, you need a second reciever.
