        }


this channel mode control limit the availability  of 5.1 since the two input 
jacks have to retask as output jacks


you  need to discuss this issue in alsa-devel mailing list and 
pulseaudio-discuss mailing list

possible way is to add hook which change channel mode when using
surround40, surround51
