Could it be that the soundcard (hw:0) is divided to two subdevices (probably hw:0,0 and hw:0,1)? Pulseaudio defaults to hw:0,0, so if do you say device=hw:0, does the module-alsa-sink succeed to open all four channels? Or maybe you are able to load two module-alsa-sinks, giving one of them device=hw:0,0 and the other device=hw:0,1? What does "cat /proc/asound/pcm" say? -- Tanu
