If you want to have the option to remix or not depending on random (runtime) whims you can also load module-remap-sink and give a 2 channel map setup to it and set the remix=no argument too. That should allow you to move streams to that device that you do not want upmixed. PA will remember this for you for next time. Something like: pactl load-module module-remap-sink sink_name="stereo" master="<NAME>" master_channel_map="front-left,front-right" channel_map="front-left,front-right" remix=no I'm going from memory so the above is almost certainly wrong, but the gist is right :p Col -- Colin Guthrie gmane(at)colin.guthr.ie http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited [http://www.tribalogic.net/] Open Source: Mandriva Linux Contributor [http://www.mandriva.com/] PulseAudio Hacker [http://www.pulseaudio.org/] Trac Hacker [http://trac.edgewall.org/]
