I can't get audio out of my speakers unless I explicitly specify 5.1 surround (it defaults to stereo) and then it is deafening and the volume controls don't work. Not sure exactly what's happening. I wouldn't reccommend trying this unless you are confident you can 'go back'.
I used alsa 1.00.19 and git head for pulse and it worked perfectly for me.
Did you get the "Configuration" tab in the Volume control applet? That
was the key feature I needed.
This also fixes another problem I always had with the SPDIF being
muted on new installs and then needing to use an alsa tool to unmute
it before I could get it working with pulse. Muting works correctly
now.

I'll try playing around with a52 next. a52 lets you play movies and
get surround sound out of your stereo without needing a six channel
analog cable. a52 has patent problems (aac), is it possible to bring
it in from medibuntu?
