From what I can tell (G)ZDoom/Skulltag already supports surround sounds. Go to "Options -> Sound Options -> Speaker Mode" and set your preference there. You can also try to enable the HRTF filter.

According to the code, the sound starts to drop-off in volume when you're 2000 map units away from the source. This can make it difficult to pinpoint the location of the beacon, but it seems to be the intended behavior. If you wish to have this changed you're going to have to talk to the AOW2 developers here and/or here.

$rolloff soundname <type>

Sets the attenuation for the sound. <mindist> (default 200) is the distance from the center of the sound trigger at which the sound is played at full volume, after which the sound drops off in volume until it hits <maxdist> (default 1200) is the distance at which the sound becomes inaudible. This allows different sound curves to be defined on a per-item basis.
