I have almost that exact same card and it works quite well for basic 4 channel surround. The alsa devices for me are hw:0,0 and hw:0,1. In my default.pa I have: load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0 sink_name=alsa_front channel_map=front-left,front-right rate=48000 load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,1 sink_name=alsa_rear channel_map=rear-left,rear-right rate=48000 load-module module-combine sink_name=combined master=alsa_front slaves=alsa_rear channel_map=front-left,front-right,rear-left,rear-right channels=4 set-default-sink combined The one thing to note here is that this setup works great for surround movies in mplayer. However, watching them in Totem actually requires a DIFFERENT setup since mplayer and totem seem to have different ideas about what channels they should play audio to. So for totem, I use: load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,0 sink_name=alsa_front channel_map=front-left,front-right rate=48000 load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0,1 sink_name=alsa_rear channel_map=side-left,side-right rate=48000 load-module module-combine sink_name=combined master=alsa_front slaves=alsa_rear channel_map=front-left,front-right,side-left,side-right channels=4 set-default-sink combined Hope that helps. -- Alex Malinovich Support Free Software, delete your Windows partition TODAY!
