No you don't want to use profiles for this. Use module-remap-sink to create a virtual 2 channel sink that maps it's front-left and front-right channels to the chosen channels on your real hardware. Remember to add the remix="no" argument when loading it too. Something like (from memory so double check on the module docs wiki page incase I've mis-remembered something): load-module module-remap-sink sink_name="LCD" channels=2 master="name_of_real_sink" master_channel_map="front-left,front-right" channel_map="front-left,front-right" remix="no" load-module module-remap-sink sink_name="StereoSystem" channels=2 master="name_of_real_sink" master_channel_map="rear-left,rear-right" channel_map="front-left,front-right" remix="no" You will then have three sinks in total: Your 5.1 system Your LCD Your StereoSystem and can move the streams around as desired.
