i installed test2 to get spdif working primarily, but also found this
behavior:
channel order/map wrong with module-detect:
- when using module-detect hw:0 is detected with 6channels. when playing
2ch audio, rear-left and rear-right are used (tested by muting one
channel after the other)
- when using module-hal-detect front:0 is detected which is only 2ch
- when manually configuring hw:0 with the following line:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=hw:0 channels=6
channel_map=rear-left,rear-right,front-left,front-right,front-center,lfe
front-left and front-right are used correctly
about the new profile detection:
- with hal-detect (detect lists 0 cards, that's by design i guess?)
>>> ist-cards
1 card(s) available.

- why is there no "output-analog-surround-51+output-iec958-stereo"!?
only with input-iec958!
- i can configure analog and digital output manually using:
load-module module-alsa-sink device=surround51:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
sink_name=analog_out
load-module module-alsa-sink device=iec958:CARD=Intel,DEV=0
sink_name=digital_out
.. and both outputs work (at least in stereo)
- also why is the digital out only detected as 2ch? (manually configuring
to 6ch results in error)
.. is this an alsa limitiation? pulseaudio detection problem? (hardware?)
module-combine does not work anymore:
E: module-combine.c: failed to parse module arguments
E: module.c: Failed to load module "module-combine" (argument:
"sink_name=combined master=analog_out slaves=digital_out"):
initialization failed.
E: main.c: Module load failed.
E: main.c: Failed to initialize daemon.
configured with:
load-module module-combine sink_name=combined master=analog_out
slaves=digital_out
(other sinks as above)
.. did the parameterlist change?
