If it helps I think all of these bugs are related to the same problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/494099 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/515698 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/724050 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/474153 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/406582 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/455779
I'm hoping someone can help me and apparently a bunch of other people with a problem that stems back to when pulseaudio was first made mandatory with Ubuntu. I realise that the typical user only has 2 speakers and wouldn't ever encounter this problem. But I've experienced this problem with a number of different sound cards while using 5.1/7.1 surround sound. I've decided to try to stick it out and see if I can help solve this problem with Pulseaudio. But I don't have any hacker abilities to try to sleuth out this problem on my own. Btw, I only went through a few hundred bug reports to pull out that list of similar bugs I would expect this problem to be 4-6% of all pulseaudio bugs if you dug in and checked it out making it a major bug.
