As I mentioned in the e-mail that you replied to, it does *not*. All three of these module-remap-sink commands work perfectly without the sink_properties parameter. Yet when I add it as either the first or the last parameter, it fails. The PA module wiki page does not mention the sink_properties parameter, so I'm not sure where it should go (or even if the parameters are position-sensitive?). This is from a vanilla Ubuntu 9.04 installation. tmassey at mdsound:~$ pulseaudio & I: caps.c: Limited capabilities successfully to CAP_SYS_NICE. I: caps.c: Dropping root privileges.
