Yes .1 is subwoofer.
For the other is
2=stereo
4=stereo surround front and rear
6=true surround front rear center +sub
7=surround front rear side and side or top and bottom
depends on speaker placement +sub
8=very true surround same as 7 with center

without sub:
5.1 - 5 speakers
6.1 - 6 speakers
7.1 - 7 speakers

you get the idea...

6.1 adds one back speaker
7.1 adds two back speakers

or can be configured as top/bottom also

oh right so the number before the dot indicates number of speakers and the number after the dot indicates number of sub-woofers
