Actually, pavucontrol allows to set the profile to "Analog Surround 4.0"
and that works! Here is an overview of the situation:

On Lucid:
1) "Analog Surround 4.0": works
2) "Digital Surround (IEC958) 4.0": works

On Precise:
3) "Analog Surround 4.0": works after pavucontrol "exposed" this profile
4) "Digital Surround (IEC958) 4.0": not available even in pavucontrol

In all the tests, the wiring is the same: USB sound card with an optical
fiber connection to the sound system. Nothing is "analog" in this setup
so why are the "analog" profiles working ? It's maybe not relevant but
it's an oddity that I wanted to mention.

Since pavucontrol gives access to the "Analog Surround 4.0" profile
under Precise and that profile sticks throughout reboots, that is a
valid workaround. Many thanks for this suggestion.

Since the "Analog Surround 4.0" profile works well, it would be nice if
the soundnua could make it visible/available/selectable.

Great thanks,
Simon
