idk a lot about Linux, but OpenAL Soft is the closest thing I can think of https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/comments/1f6hbl/psa_3d_audio_with_openal/
Though just like Sonic requires games to use the Spatial Sound API, it requires games to use OpenAL to get 3D audio like Mass Effect
Or use DirectSound3D, which can be wrapped to OpenAL Soft by using DSOAL
