Is that what I was seeing during my startup process: D: resampler.c: Channel matrix: D: resampler.c: I00 I01 D: resampler.c: +------------ D: resampler.c: O00 | 1.000 0.000 D: resampler.c: O01 | 0.000 1.000 D: resampler.c: O02 | 1.000 0.000 D: resampler.c: O03 | 0.000 1.000 D: resampler.c: O04 | 0.500 0.500 D: resampler.c: O05 | 0.500 0.500 D: resampler.c: O06 | 1.000 0.000 D: resampler.c: O07 | 0.000 1.000 I thought I tried disabling the remixing in daemon.conf without improvement, but I will try again. If I start pulseaudio with the -C command to get a command line interface will the settings in daemon.conf take effect since I am not creating a daemon? Or is the daemon still created and a pacmd instance is started right after? I also noticed that I can produce 2 two channel alsa sinks by pointing them at front:1 and rear:1. Are there equivalent values for side:1 and center/lfe:1? I tried side:1 without avail so that can't be it.
