Package: pulseaudio Version: 1.1-3 Severity: normal Current version of pulseaudio is unable to handle multiple HDMI ports present in many audio cards (even if they are not physically available).
By default, pa, chooses its HDMI device to be: plughw:0,3. But many newer cards, especially nvidia and intel, advertise multiple HDMI ports to the kernel, especially after patches applied in the 3.1 kernel development. In my particular case, for example, I have a Intel HDA IbexPeak with audio codec ALC269VB in a laptop which only has one physically available HDMI connector. As of kernel > 3.1, the default device chosen by pa is not the physical one. Leaving me with no option by to override the kernel numbering of HDMI ports, to make sure the physical one is plughw:0,3. This situation has been resolved in the upcoming release of pulseaudio (v2.0). Please package this version from upstream as soon as possible.
